The Stare: Gentle Giants was inspired by the documentary, ‘The Woman Who Loved Giraffes.’ It’s the story of Dr. Anne Dagg, a Canadian Zoologist, who dedicated her life to the study of animal behaviour, in particular, Giraffes. It’s an incredible film, one worth a watch, maybe while you knit this hat. ;)
