Giraffe - Spreading the Love



This male giraffe at the Denver Zoo is supposedly extra-randy. The day I saw him, he actually looked very tired (possibly from his sexual exploits). He was resting all by himself, gazing longingly toward the girls. Rumor has it that they've been put on birth control since they can't avoid his advances.


The gals were busy kibitzing at the other end of the pen, glad for a little reprieve from Romeo.

A bit of humor is often One Good Thing.

  2. My zoo has a new male giraffe. He's been here several years now. There was some question about whether he knew what to do with the girls. The question has been answered. He'll be a Dad in December....!!!!! Fun!

  4. After reading KB's latest news , the giraffe was one bright spot. He looks great against the red wall, lovely contrast.No wonder he was resting/reclining/regenerating?? replenishing his energy!!! poor girls. Cheers from Jean.

  5. Surely that's not what I missed on the news the other day! I just caught the tail end of something about giraffes and there seemed to be general hilarity of the nudge nudge, wink wink kind. It's lovely to read things other than election stuff :)

  13. How funny. He does look tired -- it's good to know the reason (I think).
