  3. Gorgeous picture. My daughter who is nursing her first baby said the other day.
    -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.

  12. 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!

  14. Looks like captivity didn't keeps someone from breeding. A glimpse into what life might be like in the wild who would have guessed.

  19. Reminds me of my kitty Charlie who looks to big to nurse but still does occasionally. Too cute.

  23. That mommy must be going crazy one little one one big one, make me glad I am not a Giraffe! Great shot Robin!

  24. 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.)

  25. 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!
