MEET THE NEIGHBORS


Here is the youngster. I am not certain of the sex or age but can say that it is not fully grown.
Female giraffes give birth standing up so this kid came, as all of it's kin, into the world in an 8 foot free fall.
It would have been 6 feet tall at the time and been up and nursing in less than an hour.

Tom and I continue to discover more areas and more animals at The Living Desert. Only this past week we found the mountain lions. It was really a treat to see them, to look them in the eye.
