Giraffe Viewing

More South Africa pictures! It's been a while, so I thought I'd add a few more.

While we were out on our safari drives, we had the most incredible giraffe sightings. We discovered two about 30 feet off the side of the road who were just hanging out, happy to be posing for our photos. They are beautiful animals! Very graceful, peaceful and incredibly made. They have as many vertebrae in their necks as we do... Another interesting piece of information is that the little horns on their heads are actually bone structures!

We were in awe as we sat in the jeep and the giraffes stood by the road looking right back at us. After a little while of watching, we drove down the road, turned around and came back. The two males we'd been watching started to cross the road we were about to return down. They stopped just to the left of our jeep, sharing the road we were on, and started to graze. As we were watching the beautiful creatures, the sun began to set. Eventually, they tired of their eating spot and walked away down the road. The photos are incredible!!
