The mother Giraffe was being very affectionate and rubbing her face on the young giraffe. I just kept snapping photos until I got this one, where they looked like they were sharing a special moment together.
I remember going to zoo with my kids and watching as one giraffe drank the others pee.
I thought it was hilarious, my kids were horrified.
I agree with your children. Yesterday I watched a cheetah pee on a rock, and then another cheetah lick it. It was thoroughly horrifying.
I think that’s in Fort Worth, right? I saw the little one when it was about half that height. Did you stop by the cats?
Definitely looks like Fort Worth. The new giraffe exhibit is tops. Getting to feed them is a lot of fun. I’m glad you don’t have to drive down to Glen Rose to get that experience anymore.
Yep, this is Fort Worth. I did stop by the cats! The tiger was absolutely incredible. He was walking all around his enclosure and kept getting up close to where the people were watching from. I don’t know much about their behavior or mannerisms, but it almost looked like he was enjoying the attention. Or maybe he was just trying to decide on which child to eat. :)
My wife got better pictures than I did of the big cats, and especially the tiger, and we haven’t shared our favorite pictures with each other yet, so I don’t have any good ones to share at the moment.
The white stripes look crazy how bright they are.
Nice picture! Looks like the kid is standing on a step stool to reach the mom and kiss her.
Giraffes are so fucking weird. They are these tall, lanky creatures with really long necks, they have a tongue that is so long that it can be used to pick their nose, and they have these weird little antennas. I love how weird they are. 🦒
Is this real or AI generated?
It’s real. Taken with my Pixel 7. I wouldn’t even know how to generate photos with AI. I have never looked into it.
Dude. Zoom in on that photo you posted – I think your phone used some kind of scripting to mess with the image.
You need to go buy a separate camera.
I guess I see it when I zoom on the grass. But it’s probably because I was zoomed like x6 when I took the photo in the first place, and the phone filled it in.
But honestly, it doesn’t take away from my enjoyment of this photo. I don’t enjoy photos by zooming in on the grass. I’m just looking at it on my phone and it looks nice. :)
Maybe if I took photos more than once a year I would consider buying a camera, but this was just a case of going to a place with my family and snapping a photo for fun.
Good composition, but the “enhancement” done by the phone makes it look like a watercolor or AI art unfortunately.
Edit: Disagree? Zoom in on the grass or leaves.
The pile of logs to the left looked so odd I had to zoom. Then I saw the weird filter they used. I’d love to see the original, or something not run through a prism style filter.
This is the original. I took it with my Pixel 7. Whatever it did, it did automatically, probably because I was zoomed really far in when I took it.
Your favourite picture is fake? #giraffesarentreal
