Jeg er stor Bengt Holst-fan, men den her fik drevet kaffen ud gennem naesen. 

Despite what our more “sentimental” keepers may claim, the late giraffe that you all know as “Marius” never had a name. It is pointless, is it not, to assign a name to a creature that has no need of one? Does the giraffe come when he is called? Does he need a legal name in order to obtain a driver’s licence or passport? No, that is all ridiculous. Any moniker you ascribe to the creature would not even be understood by the creature itself: An absurdity, really. The giraffe was an African herbivore far removed from its natural habitat for the quotidian amusement of paying human spectators. It was no more in need of a chummy appellation than a television set or a coffee maker.
