Incredible pictures of giraffes may make you do a double take
“Amazing photo,” expressed an Instagram user while commenting on the post.
We often come across such pictures of animals that leave us amazed and amused, all at the same time. These images of a pair of giraffes shared by Sheldrick Wildlife Trust on Instagram may evoke the same feelings in you too. What’s even more interesting is that the pictures may make you do a double take too.
“Two heads are better than one! Nature always presents sights that are worthy of a double take, but this pair of giraffe in Tsavo really made us stop in our tracks. They are just one of the many wonderful, wild species we protect through our field projects,” they wrote.
In the next few lines, the organisation described how the giraffes are in need of help. “There are just 111,000 left in Africa, which marks a 30% drop in population from the 1980s. The decline can mostly be attributed to humans, through threats like habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. We may be part of the problem, but we can also be part of the solution,” they added. The post is complete with a link that explains how people can help in saving the animals.
