About The giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) is an African even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest of all land-living animal species, and the largest ruminant. Males can be 4.8 to 5.5 metres (16 to 18 feet) tall and weigh up to 1,700 kilograms (3,800 pounds). The record-sized bull, shot in Kenya in 1934, was 5.87 m (19.2 ft) tall and weighed approximately 2,000 kg (4,400 lb). Females are generally slightly shorter, and weigh less than the males do.

The giraffe is related to deer and cattle, but is placed in a separate family, the Giraffidae, consisting only of the giraffe and its closest relative, the okapi. Its range extends from Chad to South Africa.

Enjoy your sunny Saturday, be well, Jenxx

Yes, you are very right dear Bobot, waterwholes are the best places, but I must say I did see some awsome wild on the way and roads, just crossing, quite weird and just wonderful!
I still havent found the lizard, Joggie isnt answering yet, still waiting for his advise, but you might be right:)!! Hoping you had a great weekend, hugs Jenxx

Mja...beesten veranderen niet bedoel je:))
Het was wel verwonderlijk dat het blijkbaar drinktijd was en de hele beestenboel dorst had, opeens kwam ze van alle kanten echt fantastisch!!
Zelfs de zwijnen kwamen aanscharrelen, maar het was ook een bloedhete dag geweest, dus de dorst zal groot zijn geweest... UIteraard kwamen de mannetjes olifanten in een kleine kudde en joegen de boel op stang, prachtig gezich maar wel sneu voor de rest......
Ik hoop dat ik Char volgende maand het een en ander kan laten zien, bij Kaapstad is niet zoveel maar anders vlieg ik naar Pretoria en kijken of we daar naar wat wildparken kunnen, leuk dat je af en toe even bij me kijkt trouwens:)
Hoop dat je een lekker weekend hebt gehad! Een drankje samen met jou lijkt me ook wel wat, een dikke zoen en fijne week gewenst, liefs Jenxx

Dear Jen!
One of the your wonderful capture for wildlife. And the giraffes are so beautiful. For me, the giraffe is a most soft, elegant and naive creature of the nature just opposite way of his/her body size.
Good sharpness. ANd good sun light.
warm Hugs
Ali

WOW, Jen that must have been so great to see them all in one puddle. Really wonderful. I can't wait to see more from there since you're going soon :)
I hope you're enjoying your weekend my friend. I haven't stopped, I have been out all the time shooting :)
Miss ya.
Big hug and kiss,
Julie.

Nice scenery Jen,
could have been 10.000 years or just today. It looks peaceful, but it also expresses the tension that it can suddenly change into a place of fear and flee. It's all matter of seconds or 1/1000th of a second as so many dear (and horse;-) moments in our life can be captured but do not last long. At least you did your best and succeeded to collect so many of these moments and make me aware how precious they are.
Un grand merci ma chère Jen.
P.S. Ta fille plus au sable mais sur l'herbe aujourd'hui: des précieuses secondes avec les chevaux aussi.
>Let's have a drink tonight as well and celebrate all captured precious moments of the day<
Je t'embrasse, Paul

The best way to capture animals in the wild is wait for them in the water hole, all of them come here for their refreshments.. wonderful group of animals you've capture here Jen.
great shot!
have you found out about the lizard.. don't you think it's a monitor..

Your comment is my wish dear John...lolll

Lots of natural environment there...wowww
Have lots of fun in your weekend, be well, Jenxx

Africa is really my fav continent, such amazing diversity of people, nature and history!
Thanks for liking my pets dear Srna:))
My day was great for now, just getting up at 6 for this horse jumping is quite early, but well
it was really worth it!! The 6th place for her is great out of all these competitors!!
Wishing you a great day too, hopefully it was sunny and relaxing:))
Kiss and hugs, Jenxx

Hello my sweetheart, just came back from a very stressful jumping thing, it was the first time for her on grass, normally sand, but she was doing well, 6th out of 30, even a prize of 6€ and a flag...lolll so for her not bad at all, made these little movies for YouTube for her:))
I am not sure I will see giraffes this time, near Capetown I don't know gameparks around, and Namibia will be too far for my girl I think...
But maybe spiders and grasshoppers will do..hahaa
I do have a busy weekend, will wash off my horse sh*t and go out for dinner, wishing you a lovely and warm evening, grote, dikke kus van je vriendinnetje, Jenxx

Perfect shot Jen, quality, clarity (at any distance) and very good colors too, another good element is that the animals does not looks like watching you, take attention on you, and that gives a more 'natural' fealling about the enviroment.
Best regards!
