Her eye is freaking me out. It looks like the eye of one of those little gray aliens you hear about!

She is cute though :D

That is so precious :). Looks like you had strong sunlight to work with, but you captured this little guy quite nicely.

That is a beautiful picture! I like it a lot, and yea, giraffes have WICKED long toungues. Full grown adults have 18 inch tongues I believe. Crazy. They use them for picking leaves off trees for food.

Nice shot Maureen. I like the composition. Most people shoot these guys from the side to show how long the necks are, and they all look alike. I like how you got this one head on. . . good job.

Yes sireee.... it is actually in Fresno, about 45 minutes away. It is small but makes for a nice afternoon outing.

Thanks marie.... I was just itching to go see her after I saw the birth on the news in Feb. At this zoo, you can buy leaves/berries to feed the giraffes. It is my favorite thing to do there... I could spend a small fortune because I also get to pet these beautiful animals. :) :)

The giraffe baby looks so cudly. I used to have a stuffed animal collection and it reminds me of "my little giraffe" Good work. --- I like the bear also... Of course, I'm somewhat a bear fanatic anyway...
