Animals from Lion Safari in Loxahatchee Florida (Part 4)

Giraffes and More! This was the first time I had ever seen giraffes this close up. They had two different sized giraffes in the preserve that are quite different in size. You really don't appreciate how tall these animals can get until you see them in person!

There were also dozens of these guys running around. They were surprisingly tame and pretty much let you get right next to them. I suppose they are hoping for some food! The last 2 are a bit grainy because I had to crank up the ISO on the camera. The sun was starting to go down a bit.

It also seemed that between each section of animals there were parrots perched here and there. They seem perfectly content to just sit around on their little branches all day making noises and nibbling on things.

Thanks @danyj - Yes the giraffes are quite big! Those are actually my favorite pictures from the trip. The colors are so vivid they don't look real to me!

yah same with me bro just as if i was there with you

@nuthuman

Nice clicks bro... Appreciate

Thanks @worthtrick I'm glad you like them :)

Who needs animal planet when we got you ;) haha

lol.. Indeed. Except I cheat and go to an animal preserve. hehe. You probably won't catch me hiding in the bushes in Africa photographing wild lions!

LMAOOOO yeah that’s scary. Wouldn’t want to be a lion or cheetas dinner 😂

haha.. not the best way to go out, is it.

Lmao not at all 😂😂😂 really good photos though . I gave you a follow

Nice click sir, All photos are fantastic.

Thanks you, my friend! I'm happy that you liked them.

Oh! Wonderful animal dove-2516641__480.jpg

Cool pics

Thanks :)

How cute animals, but it is so sad that they are closed into cages...

Actually almost all of the animals are roaming freely over miles of land. There are fences surrounding the lion are, but it is a huge area. Not like a zoo. But obviously they would be better off free, however a lot of the animals were rescued from poachers

@nuthman , amazing clicks buddy... keep sharing pictures like this. I'm gonna frame that parrot pic.

Glad you like them my friend! And have fun with the parrot pic! :)

these pictures are great I must say..!!
I liked the Grey African Parrot clicks the most.

They are fascinating animals

I know of my friend who choose staying with animal over Travelling to United State Of America.

Last week i watch a video of a girl rejecting an offer of going to dubai just o stay at home with her animal.

Believe me some parent will disown you for that choice. But nature have all we want, peace, joy and happiness.

I LOVE ANIMALS.

Hehe, very true. A lot of people I know love animals more than people!

Magnifique !!!!!! Merci pour ce partage

Merci!

Thanks a lot for your comment. Yes I was in a pretty good mood myself when I took them. The animals were so calm and relaxed - which rubs off on you.
