The Big Five were originally chosen for being the most dangerous game animals to hunt. Since we as civilized people no longer hunt these animals (die, poachers), it seems to me that the new Big Five should be something more endearing to tourists. I would suggest that most people would rather see a giraffe or zebra than a buffalo. I don’t know, maybe that’s just me. Anyway, here are a few of my giraffe photographs for you to enjoy today.

I have a lot of photos of South African wildlife on my site, including lions mating, from my recent trip. I really loved it there.
My wife and I loved it too, thanks for sharing.
