The mother Giraffe was being very affectionate and rubbing her face on the young giraffe. I just kept snapping photos until I got this one, where they looked like they were sharing a special moment together.
I think that's in Fort Worth, right? I saw the little one when it was about half that height. Did you stop by the cats?
Yep, this is Fort Worth. I did stop by the cats! The tiger was absolutely incredible. He was walking all around his enclosure and kept getting up close to where the people were watching from. I don't know much about their behavior or mannerisms, but it almost looked like he was enjoying the attention. Or maybe he was just trying to decide on which child to eat. :)
My wife got better pictures than I did of the big cats, and especially the tiger, and we haven't shared our favorite pictures with each other yet, so I don't have any good ones to share at the moment.
Definitely looks like Fort Worth. The new giraffe exhibit is tops. Getting to feed them is a lot of fun. I'm glad you don't have to drive down to Glen Rose to get that experience anymore.
