Have you ever seen a giraffe run?

No, neither have I. Not in person anyway. I tend to live vicariously through the Discovery Channel. Even with their strangely proportioned bodies, when they run, giraffes look quite graceful. Look into it if you haven’t seen this phenomenon.

Regardless, I have seen a giraffe before though, up close and personal. Namely, this fella. He was taking a little peek into our safari buggy as we rode around at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom this past June.

I suspect he was curious as to what the plains of Colorado look like. (Yes, we have plains, though we’re known for our mountains.) Or perhaps he had heard about the fabulous Rocky Mountains, and wished to join a herd of mountain goats.

Alternatively, he’s just really good at posing for pictures of his adoring fans.

Though, let’s be honest, it’s probably the mountain goat thing.

Makes sense.
