more long necks!





The giraffe standing in the background in the first picture was a TINY baby when I was there last, now she's pregnant so it is crazy. The third picture shows a great difference between the male and female giraffe. The taller one is the male and you can tell because he has thicker horns, straight horns, and no hairy tufts on the top of the horns. The shorter female has more bowed in, thinner horns with tufts on the top. The giraffes are very shy and scared so we just watched them and enjoyed their silent presence.
