Jerry Giraffe..

Today we visited the Hamilton Zoo... It's a fantastic Zoo and in my opinion better than the bigger Auckland Zoo.. There are regular announcements to say there would be a 'Keeper Talk' in 10 minutes.. I got this shot at the Giraffe talk .. it was very interesting and informative..
I have wondered what the lumps on their faces are ... They are battle scars.. and more bumps the older they are..
Even with the lumps and bumps they still have very cute faces..

I was about to say that I wondered what the lumps were when I read your narrative. He is lovely though I agree.

Great shot, but I don't think he'd win any beauty competition.
