Thanks for the link! I've actually never thought about this concept and it actually does describe a bit the way I feel about the giraffe.

The designer did a great job drawing it...but something just doesn't feel right...

The giraffe feels like it's asking you to lie down on the table and relax, in the same way that Hannibal Lecter might.

Uncanny valley refers to near life like looking humans, not animated anthromorhised animals that don't look like the real thing at all
