Description
Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy-
Male Giraffe photographed at Out of Africa Wildlife Park-Camp Verde, Arizona...
At an average height of around 16-18 ft, the giraffe is the tallest land animal in the world. Giraffes live primarily in savanna areas in the sub-Saharan region of Africa. Their extreme height allows them to eat leaves and shoots located much higher than other animals can reach. Their long tongues are helpful in eating because they help pull leaves from the trees. A full-grown giraffe consumes over 100 pounds of leaves and twigs a day.
Statement from the Out of Africa Wildlife Park website:
Out of Africa strives to educate and entertain, to provide an exciting and engaging opportunity to love and respect creation and Creator. It is a place where family and friends gather to experience oneness with animals and each other during safaris, tours, walks, observations, and shows of wild-by-nature animals in their own, natural splendor. In this way, we hope to achieve a kind of oneness with them that will cause us to consider them to be so valuable that we cannot allow them to be lost forever. We continually provide spacious and natural living habitats for animals in need, so they can become ambassadors of their own kind. We have heeded the call of those without a voice, many of whom now border on extinction.
