Giraffes - the gentle giants of South Luangwa
Mother and child
Could this be Dr. Dolittle's Pushmepullyou?
A mother leads her twins to the river for a drink
As young teenagers, the male giraffes practice their fighting skills.
This is known as 'necking'.
Whilst they generally do not injure one another,
there still has to be a winner and a loser before they give up
A male giraffe can be identified by the 'bald' tips of his horns
Whereas the female's are still covered.
Next...some nice surprises on an night-time game drive...
