There are loads of wood carving shops in Candolim you will be spoilt for choice, don%26#39;t think I have ever seen a giraffe, but plenty of elephants, I%26#39;m sure you will find somewhere that will do one for you.

the markets??

We saw wooden giraffes in Goa this year. I particularly remember this as several years ago we were looking for one to bring home and we had such fun trying to explain what a Giraffe was. The sellers were asking us to draw one.

You might find that wooden carvings of giraffes don%26#39;t actually originate in India (given that giraffes live in Africa, not India). We once bought a wooden elephant, and it was only when we got it home we realised it was an African elephant, not an Indian one.

Just come home from Candolim, there was a woman and a little boy selling carved animals (including a giraffe) along the Calangute/Candolim beach stretch.

Don%26#39;t know what the quality was like, though.
