A funny video has emerged of a giraffe sticking its head through a car window to steal a woman's ice cream cone at a safari park.

The footage, shot at Serngeti Park, Germany late last year, shows the giraffe extending its huge blue tongue to grab the woman's ice cream while she is sitting in a car with her husband and son.

After trying to fend off the curious creature, Melanie eventually loses the battle and sees her ice cream gobbled by the giraffe.

"As the window was still open from the stroking of the zebras we got unexpected visit to this giraffe," the father wrote online.

I was with my wife Melanie and our son Dylan Mac 6 years at Serngeti Park. We have given this stay to our son for his first school holidays. We went with our car through the park to see the many animals. After a stop, where we had also bought ice cream, held like the giraffe. As the window was still open from the stroking of the zebras we got unexpected visit to this giraffe. The giraffe was very interested in the ice cream. It was simply very nice to film the reaction of my son and my wife to the giraffe and her very long tongue!
