English Giraffe?

Giraffe Port Lympne

Easy to imagine that this majestic creature is roaming some African nature reserve, not your fault but you’d be wrong.  This giraffe resides in Port Lympne Zoo in Kent England. It is great being able to see these beautiful animals in the south of England. I really hope the cold doesn’t affect them because it can get really cold, in any case I wonder if  i’ll get into trouble for taking the photo of this giraffe and posting it here. I heard that a photographer should have permission from a zoo to either take photos or display them, hmm too late I’ve done it now ;-)

Howletts & Port Lympne Wild Animal Parks were set up by the late John Aspinall with the aim of protecting and breeding rare and endangered species and returning to safe areas in their native homeland. The Aspinall Foundation is the charity which manages Howletts and Port Lympne Wild Animal Parks, it is funded solely from charitable donations. World leaders in conservation – The Aspinall Foundation working in conjunction with the parks have so far returned to the wild Przewalski’s horses, black rhino, Sumatran rhino, Cape buffalo, ocelots, pythons and gorillas.
