That must be a very nice zoo. Your shot have a very natural feel. Well done.
Thanks, Carol. It is a nice zoo. They tried very hard to make each animals habitat be as natural to them as possible.

Very nice shots Kathy, looks like these giraffes are in their very natural habitat!
Thanks, Joe. I've never been to a place where giraffes live naturally. I do know that at the SD Wildlife Park, the area for them looks much like this one in Phoenix, albeit a bit greener.

I went to the zoo yesterday to do my occasional visit to the big cats. (Yes, I see other stuff, too.) Hope you enjoy what I came home with!

Very good set Kathy. Love the giraffe shot. 
Thanks, Sylvia. So glad you enjoyed. I usually go spend some time with the little one. She's so cute.

I have seen them in very desert-oriented places, like the Etosha Pan in northern Namibia with very little greenery, as well as in other, greener places. It was actually fascinating to see one giraffe pick some tiny leaves from a "thorn bush" with its long tongue without getting stung. You can see some pictures of elephants in the Chobe National Park in Botswana in a quite green environment, but you can also see that the roads even there are a mess of loose sand. (Go to my geographical album tab, click on :Short: for the first album: Botswana/Zambia/Zimbabwe and just scoot through the thumbnails half-way down until you can see the giraffes, then open up the pictures). The red sand is never far off in the African places that I have visited.

Thanks, Joe. I did visit your website, but admittedly was more interested in the South American than the African groups, since I have been there. I'll go look. I do think the Phoenix Zoo staff works very hard to get the environments "right" for their charges. The giraffes have been there a very long time. Our environment apparently lends itself to their world very nicely.
