That is some impressive work. What fun!

I bet it causes some double-takes from people driving by. (I looked up the height of a giraffe and found the adult females are “up to” 14 feet tall and the males 18 feet, so that one is definitely in realistic range.)

Giraffe art is popular lately. They are such graceful creatures and look so gentle. My hometown zoo (Cincinnati) has a very nice area for the giraffes. There is often a zoo person on site to answer questions.

I think those Cincinnati giraffes might be a little spoiled and that’s OK. I say this based on one time when I was there, and it started to rain, not a heavy rain or a storm, just a plain rain. The giraffes headed for their barn — and the zoo person smiled, rolled her eyes, and shook her head because she knew they would soon insist she meet them at their barn door to let them in out of the rain.

Giraffes seem to have the power to make people smile. Thanks for sharing.
