OK, I made this happen by putting food on my head, but it was still pretty unusual. The giraffes at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo can be hand-fed, and if you are slightly more adventurous, head-fed. I thought my little stunt would create a handful of imitators, but alas no one seemed to find it as entertaining as I did. The zoo is located in Colorado Springs, and is the only mountain zoo in the US, sitting at an elevation of 6800 feet. Oh, and by the way, Julie and I recently relocated to Colorado Springs.
What an amazing shot! Did a professional take it?
