Giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchi,
This Giraffe was munching away on its favourite tree which is an Acacia, as you can see with giraffes they can reach heights that most other herbivores can't due to them having such long necks. Also the Giraffe has a specially adapted tongue that can deal with the vicious thorns the Acacia has to try and prevent it being eaten by said Giraffes. They were quite numerous in and around the Serengeti but are sometimes prey for the resident Lions and Leopards there.
Seen at Serengeti national park in Tanzania.
