surprise

This is the shot I didn't know I'd taken, until I loaded up my photos from a little photoshoot at Marwell Zoo today.

I concentrated on penguins and giraffes, my favourites.

Linda, thanks for enthusiasm. (At first I thought you meant it was a selfie - only joking!)

[Beryl Lloyd]

A great shot love the snooty look and look at that long tongue and that black colour !

[Hazel]

@judithg

Funny I've been thinking of the giraffe as 'he' and now I realise I have no idea how to tell!!

[Pyrrhula]

(S)he did n`t listen to her/his Mother when she told, keep you tongue inside ,that`s not nice to other people and you can have a bite on it.
Great, funny and beautiful capture

[Karin Hirsch]

This is so funny

Ha ha! Great shot - I love surprises like that! He's got such a long tongue - I guess to match his long neck!

[Trish Plutz]

You must have been happy when you found this one! The green makes everything pop, including the knobs on the giraffes head! Fav!

[Sam]

Great minds must think alike because my ALL TIME favourite animal is the Giraffe! They are such magnificent creatures - if I go to the zoo, I think 90% of my photos are of the giraffe hahahahah FAV!

[Hazel]

@gigiflower

Sam, you can't miss them of course!!

[Sam]

@quietpurplehaze How very true - and I'm only 5 foot tall so they absolutely tower over me!!!!

[Hazel]

This was indeed, a happy accidental capture - thank you for all your comments and appreciation!
