Visiting Kenya: Giraffe Centre

We also visited the Giraffe Centre where they're hand-feeding the endangered Rothschild Giraffe, distinguished by its white feet. 



 
 

 
They're quite gentle creatures. 
 

 
....so we fed them....
 

 
And accepted the challenge to feed them with food between your lips....it was Valentines Day....
 
 
After that learned that the giraffe is the only animal that can clean its ears with its tongue.
 
 
Kenya is the only country with three different types of giraffes (Rothschild, Reticulated, and Masai giraffes), and, eventually, we were lucky to see all three in the bush.
