Mike somehow always catches our wildlife doing unusual things.
A couple of days ago he was with our guests on the “Cotton fields” of our reserve, watching a herd of elephants, and a bunch of giraffes nearby. Now, I have never seen giraffes that close to elephants, but these ones were very curious, and they were observing the elephants all the time.
There were also quite a few zebra present, so that makes for an amazing animal sighting, in arguably one of the prettiest nature settings in the world.
It is amazing to see how small the zebras look compared to giraffes. And zebras are not small! They are about the size of a horse, so you can imagine the size of a giraffe. I never tire of mentioning this actually. It is only very difficult to imagine the size of these animals unless you see them in real life. Elephants can exceed 5m at shoulder height, and that’s almost the height of a 2-story house! Giraffes can go up to 6m and beyond, so they are truly towering creatures. One of the photos runs home that point. Enjoy the photos, and many thanks to Mike!
