Comforting

Today at the zoo we spent some time listening to a zoo interpreter tell us about giraffes, ostriches and hippos.

Giraffes are pregnant for 15 months. Then at the end they give birth to a 6 foot tall 120 pound darling.

For some reason I find that comforting.

Yet another reason to be thankful that I am not a giraffe ;)

Excellent thing to hear while you are pregnant! I hope that things go well with your move. Travel safely and cheaply!

Yikes. Poor giraffes.

I heard that some giraffes are homosexual. Perhaps that explains why.
