A man has been seen riding a metal giraffe outside a Scots entertainment centre in a dangerous stunt.
A TikTok video shows the individual sit on one of the two of the life-size animal sculptures outside the Omni Centre in Edinburgh.
Despite being atop the smaller giraffe, the height makes it dangerous and forbidden despite similar attempts from others in the past.
The caption for the clip shared by app user @zm3o12 reads: "Only in Edinburgh would you find a grown man riding a metal giraffe."
However, passers-by don't seem concerned as he swings his legs leisurely, seemingly amused by his antics, Edinburgh Live reports.
The artworks, which are officially referred to as the 'Dreaming Spires', were made out of scrap metal by by Helen Dennerly.
They became a permanent installation back in 2005.
The Omni Centre has a partnership with Edinburgh Zoo and is part of a global network to protect endangered species such as giraffes.
Omni also say they have established an affinity with giraffes in particular which is the reason Martha and Gilbert stand tall outside.
