lightning comes from the earth it does not come from the sky people think that because it's an optical illusion but if you look really closly (I'm not saying go right up to a bolt of lightning and look at it) you an see the lightning coming from the ground. So a zebra would of gotten more lightning strikes than a giraffe

I would say giraffe. Because when it rains or there's a storm, zebras will find it easier to seek shelter while giraffes are really tall, so probably they seek shelter at trees. And isolated trees easily get struck by lightning.

Well, in a lightning storm: I'd want to be the shorter of the two.
I think 'Golfers' get struck more often than the other two combined.

as giraffes are not herd animals in the sense that there are not hundreds togehter whereas zebra are in herds of hundreds I would have thought that if it was FORKED lightening more zebra would be killed than giraffes !

ur question was "..more..". So taller the more prone to it - giraffe. (The other factor is conductivity - in which case they bothstand equally as they both will hv equivalent amt of water content in them and attached to the ground)
