The naughty giraffe

When we were staying in Kedar Lodge we were told to stay away from "the naughty giraffe". We didn't understand what was meant until we went on a early morning game drive. As soon as he saw the safari truck he came ambling over (as only giraffe can) and kept stalking the truck walking around one way and back the other. We were told that he sometimes tries to mount the truck (could you imagine LOL) and hit the canopy with his head - all signs of trying to exert his authority, as another young male has come into the picture and has been hanging around the female who is now pregnant. Who is the father, I wonder.

 

These photos were taken from the safari truck with the 100-400 lens. He was so close to the truck that I couldn't manage to get any full length photos.
