Giraffe Bull - The Rain is Coming
For me this is a very special photograph, symbolizing the start of the rainy season. In an arid and tough country, the rain means new life ... and the Circle of Life takes another loop. This bull is in totally harmony with his environment, appreciating the gifts that the rain will bring.
The giraffe is an African even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant. The giraffe is also noted for its extremely long neck and legs and prominent horns. It stands 5–6 m tall and has an average weight of 1,200 kg for males and 830 kg for females.
