This is not PhotoShop: It’s an actual photo that Allen W. captured in Africa.
These giraffes were super curious, but being on the shy side, hesitant about “sticking their neck out too far.”
This is how it happened: Our guide in Masai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya had spotted a group of giraffes excited about something (aka a bunch of giraffe heads floating above the tree canopy) and turned off the dirt road onto the golden savanna grass to check it out.
“They are probably mating,” he said.
We got our camera ready, excited now too to see giraffes have sex.
When we got there, it turned out that a couple was indeed trying to accomplish that, which wasn’t not an easy fit when you have such long legs and a shifting center of gravity.
But that’s not what had captured their friends’ attention. Three men had gotten out of their truck and were trying to fix a water pipe.
