I love giraffes (or giraffe?). This is one amazingly clear and detail image of his beautiful head. The tongue may be a 'bit too much information'!! but clearly he needs it as he has no salad tongs to grab his lunch! Oh its wonderful and as always the narrative just makes it! #1839287

Mata Patan September 15, 2005

Black giraffe tongue!!!!!!
Seems the menu is her favourite one today!!
Cool perspective! #1839308

Paul Sikora September 15, 2005

FANTASTIC capture AND image, Dan!!! Your timing was IMPECCABLE!!! :o) #1839370

Stanley J. Contrades September 15, 2005

Spectacular catch with great detail, Dan! The Giraffe's long, prehensile, muscular tongue can be extended up to 18 inches!! May be a little too much information as well (LOL)!! Excellent imagery and timing!!
Much Aloha,
Stan #1839417

Kerby Pfrangle September 15, 2005

Kate Jackson September 15, 2005

I love being right up there with the giraffe. And I love the way his head is reaching up, up and evermore up and the tongue is even up higher than his head. The only way I can get my tongue higher than my head is to lay on the ground and squash my nose in!! #1839923
