Buzzfeed Australia report that federal government funding has been cut for Harold the Giraffe.

Many Aussies will remember Harold as the friendly giraffe who rocked up to their school in the Life Education van to chat about healthy living.

A spokesperson for the Department of Education and Training told reporter Alice Workman the government's $600,000, three-year grant agreement with Life Education expires on July 1 and will not be renewed.

"No further funding has been committed beyond 1 July 2017," the spokesperson said.
