[1] "I found 4 085 giraffes created by people named Sanne!"

[2] "I found 9 988 giraffes created by people named Ediktonia!"

The actual statistic is that 2% of all Germans who submitted giraffes were named Sanne and 5% were named Ediktonia. It doesn't say they were all the same person.

Sanne has actually only submitted 15 pictures. This is one of them, http://www.onemilliongiraffes.com/?id=54374 There are ~2000 giraffes on one page. Ediktonia has similar images.

Personally, I think these works are kind of taking the piss.

Click through the giraffes. They are in fact all by the same person (or by different people who are all the same age and live in the same place).
