A new day dawns

Very early morning in the Ngala Private Game Reserve, part of the greater Kruger National Park, these two Giraffes faced each other, with a small bird on the neck of one of them, as the sun slowly started to rise on the horizon.

Giraffe - Giraffa Camelopardalis

The Giraffe is Africa’s largest ruminant and tallest mammal, large males can weigh up to 2 tons and stand at a height of up to 5.5m. An interesting anatomical aspect is the Giraffe’s 45cm prehensile tongue and modified atlas-axis joint that lets it extend its head vertically to increase its height advantage.
