Giraffe

Giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchi

Description:

It is not so easy to drink some water for this giraffe! Struggling to keep from slipping on the mud, this giraffe lets out a stream of water between her lips as he tries to keep the balance!

Habitat:

Giraffes usually inhabit savannas, grasslands, or open woodlands. However, when food is scarce they will venture into areas with denser vegetation.

Notes:

Maasai Giraffe or Kilimanjaro Giraffe

me parece ver que tiene un hilo de saliva de dos metros colgando de la boca!

I'm watching that it has a 2 meters string of drool hanging from the
mouth!

Yes..this is reality.... They can not lean down like horse and deer. To eat leafs of small plants they have to do such circus...!!
