This is one of my favourite signs an story ever. The sign is situated at a small pedestrian bridge. When the bridge was built (made from concrete) one of the giraffes from the zoo walked over here. This is why the waymark is also a petrosomatoglyph (and I love those too!). Caretakers then decided to leave the bridge as it was and add a sign. It is unknown if the bridge was ever again crossed by a giraffe, but the sign has been there ever since.
