Oh Bless her heart! She could teach a lot of Mama's about good nursing! What a lovely photograph - beautifully captured! The colour of those giraffes is so much darker than the wild ones we have in South Africa! Those looks as though they have been painted! Thank you for sharing!
Obviously you've not watched a litter of puppies at work. This is actually pretty tame, even if the big one does look rather too mature for this (some-one's cheat-ing!).
Still you have to give credit for determination... looks like a real pain in the neck! (Well somebody had to say it.)
Taken at the Safari last week (or was it the week before?). Click to enlarge. 
I seriously love this. I didn't realize that other species also tandem nurse!
ReplyDeleteoh the poor mama!
ReplyDeleteFunny:D That big one looks like too old for nursing already....
ReplyDelete...and it went to my wallpaper
ReplyDeleteGorgeous picture. My daughter who is nursing her first baby said the other day.
ReplyDelete-Mum, I don't understand how you managed two at the same time!?
Well I don't know either but I did and they are now 14 years old.
nice :) look at what moms can do ;)
ReplyDeletethanks for viewing mine :)
that is great!!
ReplyDeleteI agree...poor Mama : )
I would think the big one is past nursing? looks more like a thief
ReplyDeleteAnd I complained about feeling crowded :) love the pic! I'd love one like that for my tandem nursing FB group :)
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious! Thanks for the post! (poor mommy giraffe:I hated tandum nursing)
ReplyDeleteA yearling and a new one? Cute. Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteThat's incredible Robin! Nice capture. Aren't they gorgeous??!
ReplyDeleteGreat capture!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW! Have you ever been on The London Eye? If not, here are some photos of what it is like: http://tinyurl.com/yll4225

ReplyDeleteHappy WW!

ReplyDeleteIf those are twins, we've got a serious runt.
ReplyDeleteLooks like captivity didn't keeps someone from breeding. A glimpse into what life might be like in the wild who would have guessed.
ReplyDeleteExcellent capture!
ReplyDeleteHmm, everything always looks awkward with giraffes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking too that one looks too old to be nursing :)
ReplyDeletePretty awesome shot!
Great shot, what was mother nature thinking! Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteGosh, and I thought that I had a tough job tandem nursing two one year olds at a stage. The poor momma.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of my kitty Charlie who looks to big to nurse but still does occasionally. Too cute.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about efficiency!
ReplyDelete:-)
ReplyDeleteI love the look on the Mama's face! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's an hilarious shot and also very touching in a way.

ReplyDeletewhat a lovely shot.. mother with 2 babies..
That mommy must be going crazy one little one one big one, make me glad I am not a Giraffe! Great shot Robin!

Both of the young giraffes (4 months and 16 months) still nurse, even though momma is getting less tolerant of the older one. Great capture!
ReplyDeleteCalico Contemplations
That picture is amazing. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture! I wouldn't want to be that mama!
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying the animal shots, Poor mommy!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT momma what I call a GIVER. :)
ReplyDeleteNow there's something I've never seen before!
ReplyDeleteStopping by on my first Wordless Wednesday :o)
We never did make it to the safari park.. how adorable is that!!
ReplyDeleteHow funny! I had no idea the phrase "tandem nursing" even existed and now here's proof :)
ReplyDeleteDaddy got jealous? :) Great catch!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful shot! How wonderful!
ReplyDeleteKewl capture ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm catching up in my 'reader' this morning and HAD to stop to thank you for posting this one. I love giraffes!
