    Go in right now, there are wildebeest coming. And the giraffe is back. And it just pooped. Baby giraffe, feeding from its mom! That was wonderful. Mom, dad and baby giraffe in a group together. The baby kept trying to feed but mom kept moving and cutting him off. Then she bent down and muzzled him all along his neck. They disappears around the tree with wires for the cam and the baboons are here.

    The giraffe are back and the mom giraffe is hurt. She has bloody cuts on the insides of both her back legs and her tail has blood on it. The cam keeps focusing on her wounds. I wonder if the reserve does anything about injured animals.

    Scary thought. Won't the lions be attracted to the smell of blood? That would leave the male giraffe fighting for both their lives.

    Probably. She is in danger. But this is on a reserve, so I'm sure the people there will help her if it is necessary.

    I'm watching a beautiful giraffe eating his/her breakfast.....

    ....while I'm cooking dinner.

    I'm so addicted to this. Gee, thanks Kay.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
