A car window shattered on a giraffe's head when a panicked couple wound it up as the giant animal reached into their car for food.

The pair were driving through West Midlands Safari Park with their window down when the curious giraffe reached into the passenger side of their car.

Looking shocked, they wound up the window, which shattered right on the giraffe's head.

Park bosses have now launched an investigation after the incident, which took place yesterday.

During certain areas of the drive-through safari park, visitors are allowed to feed some animals from their cars.

But under park regulations windows should be kept half shut and visitors are instructed to keep their hands outstretched.

The video shows the window fully open with the woman sitting back looking down at her lap.

This plucky giraffe appears to take its chance and comes between two vehicles before dipping its head into the passenger side of one car.

The woman laughs as she begins to wind the window up.

Within seconds, the animal's head becomes trapped between the roof and the glass of the car window.

It suddenly bursts into shards.

Onlookers filming the shocking incident are stunned to silence before asking: "Oh God - are you alright? Do you want me to try and call someone?"

As the female passenger says she's fine, the man behind the camera says: "We might need to call someone. I think the giraffe might have glass in it as well."

The female passenger in the car says there's glass "everywhere".

A spokeswoman from West Midlands Safari Park told The Sun Online: "As this incident is under investigation, we cannot currently comment.

"However, the giraffe was checked over immediately by staff and sustained no injuries from the glass."

We hope the big guy is safe.
