A while back I posted a shot of this mother giraffe kissing this baby. Here’s another, wider-cropped shot from that same interaction that we witnessed in Lewa, Kenya. This was just after the kiss, when the mom proceeded to rub her head against the baby’s chest. Of course, like most absent minded giraffe mothers, she then walked away to forage on the bushes, most likely forgetting that she even had a baby.
Sounds like giraffes are a lot like humans. I for one keep forgetting to remove the lens cap on my wife’s Nikon 1 V1 with the electronic viewfinder. Wow, the color on these giraffes is spot on! Now I don’t have to go to Africa to see what it’s like.

I’m glad to see that as a species, giraffes don’t seem to have many intimacy issues.
