Answer:

The above statement is a logical fallacy called:

2. hasty generalization

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above statement, Jeff is making a general and hasty judgment about the giraffes' behavior. A logical fallacy is a way in which invalid or faulty reasoning is made. The reasoning is deceptive and confusing in nature. The above sentences are the example of making hasty generalization by just having an experience.
