Big gif from a third party site does not show in the README.md of github?
It looks like someone else had this issue before,
When I open this link in Firefox, I only get the text "Content length exceeded".
and here is the commit that fixed it.
Add gif locally

Looks like all you have to do is save the gif and put it in your repository, no need to resize it, just link to the version in your repository. Notice how the width is specified and raw=true is an included parameter.
