Description
This is one of a series of cute photos from a giraffe I had the pleasure of seeing several years ago. I don't know if all giraffes are this curious about people and/or cameras or not, but this particular giraffe was literally staring into the lens for every photo I took.
Perhaps Giraffes are the one creature with which I have a rapport? I'll have to test that one day, but for now I'll leave photographing animals to others but I lvoe the comical faces he made for me in that short time.
Giraffe tongues are, of course, prehensile, as they use them to strip leaves from trees, but I don't think I had any idea how expressive they were before this meeting.
In this last shot in the series, he probably is cleaning his chin, but I still think the look in those soulful giraffe eyes says, "Did I get it all?"
