Photo Hunters (#24)--Flexible




A giraffe MUST have a flexible neck in order to reach all of those tall branches! This was taken at the San Diego Wild Animal Park in San Diego, California.

Yes, I agree with you. A giraffe must have a flexible neck. Now that I see your shot, it reminds me of my nickname in high school. Haha!

Olivia said...

Smart thinkin'! We used to go to a zoo where we could feed the giraffes marshmallows. They loved them, and I'll never forget how their tongues felt when they licked my hands!

mousey said...

ellen b said...

What a beautiful animal. Have a wonderful weekend...

Katney said...

Did you know that a giraffe has exactly the same number of bones in his neck as we do? My birthday present this year was getting to feed a giraffe at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. Giraffes have always been a favorite.

Thanks for stopping by to see my entry.

Perfect shot for this week's theme - giraffes have such sweet faces. I also chose pics of creatures with flexible necks, but nothing quite so exotic. Have a great weekend!

Nice pic! Great shot for this beautiful Giraffe. I love giraffe as they always look graceful. :)

Giraffes are my husband's favorite animal! I love the way their graceful necks sway and the dainty way they nibble leaves off trees.

Amazing Gracie said...

I love giraffes! There's a very strange one at the zoo in Santa Barbara (which I highly recommend) that looks as though it's broken it's neck. It juts out at the strangest angle. We've been assured it's just fine and he's been there for ages...
I love the photo.
~~~Blessings~~~

Expat Traveler said...

oh a great one! And so true.

Hind's Feet said...

I LOVE giraffes. Their necks are VERY flexible, but have you ever watched them trying to take a drink? Oh my! The knees.... not so flexible. (Actually, there may be a more scientific reason, like blood flow, but still the knees look painful!)

Blessings, Kim

lissa said...

I'm sure the giraffe agrees with you

YTSL said...

Hadn't thought of a giraffe's neck as flexible -- only long -- at least until I saw your Photo Hunt entry! :)

Angela said...

Definitely flexible! Not like our human short necks.

msdedi said...

EXTREME Flexible!

Natalie said...

Great idea for the hunt! My toddler loves giraffes! :) Have a great weekend!

Daisy said...

You are very right about giraffe necks. Looking at that picture, I think they might have very flexible lips, too.

Stine said...

What a beauty!

Heart of Rachel said...

I find giraffes beautiful and amazing. Sadly when I took my son to the city zoo, the giraffe was not there anymore. I have a feeling it passed away.

LadyBanana said...

Lovely photo, giraffes are such lovely animals. We have some just up in road in the zoo and they can be seen from the road as you pass which is always a treat!

Sabine said...

Awesome photograph, and very apt for the theme! Great!
