Reticulated Giraffe ( Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata) drinking

Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya

A subadult male drinking.
This is when giraffe are at their most vulnerable. We found the remains of a giraffe which had been killed at a waterhole elsewhere in Ol Pejeta.

I watched one trying to lie down recently at an open range zoo, and life is certainly awkward for them at times. Well captured.

Seeing the posture, it is not easy for a giraffe to drink water. Excellent documentary image, as usual. -V-
