One of my favourite moments during my guiding experience at Mbuluzi Game Reserve was witnessing this graceful giraffe feeding on a K**b Thorn (Acacia nigrescens).
Giraffes are perfectly adapted for browsing high leaves where most other herbivores can’t reach. Their long tongues (up to 45cm!) allow them to feed even on thorny trees 🌴 like this one, without getting hurt. Nature’s design is truly incredible!
Every day out in the bush teaches me something new about animal behaviour, plant ecology and the beautiful relationships that hold our ecosystems together.
🎥 Enjoy this short moment with one of Africa’s most iconic species!
