Round and about

A while ago some very good friends of mine came to visit me from Italy and we had a wonderful few days going to different places and enjoying ourselves.

A few nights before, I had been to a "do" at another friends children's school and there on the barbeque they had snake!! I could not believe my eyes!! My friends tried it but me, no thanks, I would rather eat leaves!! :)
At one of the places we went, they had built a platform and you could buy treats for the giraffe and stand there and feed him. Naturally the kids loves this close-up encounter with an animals whose head is usually 20 foot above theirs.
I ended up taking a really CLOSE shot of its mouth. A bit hairy don't you think? LOL!! For more info, click here.
One of the othr places we went they had some Caracal which they fed with small chickens.
They were so eager to get to the food that they would jump up onto the fence to get the food and it gave up nice shots of its claws. For more info, click here.
This Ostrich came to say hello. Must have thought we had food for it too. Click here for more info on them.
Along the way I found this Orange-throated Longclaw. It is the first time I have seen this bird and liked its colors.
