This is terrific, Tom. If I see any giraffes missing parts, I'll send them to Louisville!

The drooping lips on the giraffe's head show that the sculptor really knew what he or she was doing. I hadn't thought about it, but giraffes' mouths really do sag that way. I guess it's the extra heavy lips and tongue that they need for the thorny trees they browse.

It's a delightful shot.
