April 12 - Animals, the tallest and the shortest

We saw giraffes everyday in groups from 2 to 9.  They were so beautiful. 


A very tall male giraffe.

It was nice that this one stopped to pose!

We learned that giraffes have a 4 stage stomach.  The closer we got to them we could see how they swallow, then regurgitate, chew again, then the process starts over until it passes through the 4 stages.  It was funny watching it go up and down that long neck!

Females are a little smaller and slightly lighter in color.  This one was just walking down the road when we came around a corner.

The last shot of the evening.

Vervet monkeys were mostly around our lodge.  Their smart and know where the easy food and water is!

This female was in the tree next to our suite. She had just finished nursing her little one, and fell asleep on the branch!

We had to be careful not to leave anything outside our suite because these guys would steal it.
