I'd like to add that even assuming there is only one fridge, why is it a giraffe and an elephant can't fit in the fridge together? As a consultant, I always try to engineer my solutions to account for near-term growth. I think doing anything less is a major disservice to the customer. When designing a giraffe-chilling solution, I would assume that - with a successfully chilled giraffe - my client would likely entertain cooling other animals. I would be sure to design my fridge to accommodate at least one, and likely several more, animals.
Furthermore, given the litigious nature of society, I've learned it's important to make my designs as foolproof as possible. Your average employee charged with loading African mammals into refrigerated quarters large enough to hold a giraffe and an elephant runs a reasonable risk of having the door close behind him. I would consider it an important detail to ensure the fridge locked only from the outside, and when no motion was detected inside the storage to prevent the door from being locked while someone was loading specimens. That said, either both the giraffe and the elephant failed to attend the Lion King's meeting because they were both dead in cold storage, or they both attended because the door could not be locked whilest they were shuffling around inside and they escaped. Any other failure of one or both of them to attend can be blamed squarely on the unpredictable nature of wild animals.
Finally, the fourth question & answer are a bit of an oxymoron. If the crocodiles are at a meeting with the Lion King, the river is not in fact used by crocodiles. It might have been used, and may be used in the future, but by definition a river without crocodiles is not, in fact, being used by crocodiles.
