Everything is long on a giraffe; the neck, the legs…..and the tongue. Paul Jackson’s elegant creature’s neck leaving and coming back into frame in this painting emphasizes what’s not there as well as the artist’s creative vision. The watercolor is one of a series featuring wildlife.

Perfect “eye contact” with this Giraffe…..... Giraffes have long necks, which they use to browse the leaves of trees. The vertebrae are separated by highly flexible joints. The base of the neck has spines which project upward and form a hump over the shoulders. They have anchor muscles that hold the neck upright. An unexpected danger to giraffes in captivity is that, as they are typically the tallest objects in a zoo, giraffes are at increased risk of being struck by lightning. In the wild, this hazard is reduced by the presence of trees.

Watching the giraffe’s is so entertaining. They are such a beautiful creation of nature. If you just watch their mouths it fun to play a little game to see if you can figure out what they might be saying. /
A beautiful family scene of Giraffe in the Serengeti – Africa. I love the seeming awkwardness of this animal, but ultimately one of the most charismatic on the African plains.
This is a picture my wife spotted one day while we were walking. Out of the foliage, a tree trunk emerges that resembles a giraffe munching on the high leaves (use your imagination):)
