Paisley&#8217;s mother was in the pickup bed with her and shouted, prompting the giraffe to drop the toddler into her arms unhurt. Video of the encounter taken from the car behind went viral. The girl&#8217;s family also shot their own video.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPaisley was holding the bag and the giraffe went to go get the bag, not get her, but ended up getting her shirt too and picking her up,\u201d Jason Toten, the girl&#8217;s father, told television station KWTX.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy heart stopped, my stomach dropped \u2026 it scared me,&#8221; Toten said.<\/p>\n<p>The family then took the girl to the shop and bought her a toy giraffe.<\/p>\n<p>Park rules when the family visited allowed riding in an open truck bed as long as an adult was riding with any children. The park on Thursday changed its safety rules to require everyone to stay inside their vehicles with doors closed.<\/p>\n<p>
