LOL, their lips always amuse me, the way they almost act as hands.

***Chocky*** · 15-05-2008, 09:11 PM

Yes . They do. Wouldn't like a kiss from one of those

**Babs** · 15-05-2008, 10:27 PM

Oh aren't they beautiful, takes me back to when we were in South Africa at one of the National Parks and a mother and baby just walking accross the road in front of our car.

Yes They are. I really like Giraffes
This is a fairly new arrival. Paddy,his mate and baby were killed by a fire in there housing. It was so sad. I have a video of Paddy too but won't upload it

Merlin Regular Member Info Real name: Pete Location: N W England Gallery: 6 Equipment: Nothing but my notebook which is one of the most important parts of birding. To go out without it (which I only ever did once) is like going out without your pants on. I've never understood why I responded to the 'Cameras and Equipment' question in this way because in reality I own a Leica Telescope with eyepieces, Zeiss Binoculars, and a Manfrotto Tripod all of which cost a positive fortune.
