Dallas, Texas - Giraffe statue at Dallas Zoo When the Dallas Zoo was remodeled, they constructed this massive giraffe
statue that can be seen from I-35. The statue is really a neat thing to see, and the zoo
is good too. Catch the train from a park and ride to save money on zoo parking. [Vanessa, 08/18/2002][RA: The Giraffe is promoted as the "Tallest Statue in Texas," a metal sculpture over 67 ft. tall just outside the zoo parking entrance. Randy Stevens writes: "Don't know exactly how tall it is, but it reportedly was going to be a tad shorter. When the giant Sam Houston went up on Hwy 45 it was designed to be barely taller. So Dallas put a blade of grass on the giraffe's tongue to gain the 'Tallest in Texas' title."]
