Giraffes

Giraffes sure are fun to see! These two are play fighting, swinging their heads around and smacking each other on the neck.

They are juvenile males, practicing for the real, and dangerous, competition over mates they'll have later.

Some giraffes have skin and spots that are darker than on other giraffes. These are older animals. We saw a couple that were really quite dark. Wise elders, I presume.
