GIRAFFES IN THE WILD

"Twega" a curled up baby giraffe in the African wild.  waiting for his mama to feed him.

Twegas (Swahili for giraffes) ubiquitous to most of Africa. We were able to observe both in Kenya and Tanzania.
I watched a wonderful female at very close range as  she watched me with her dark eyes and with her long purple tongue stripped acacia leaves from between the thorns.
