Giraffes really have to work to get water, and put themselves in what would seem to be a vulnerable position doing so. Nice pose captured, and good low perspective for it.

You got some fine shots from this waterhole hide, Jake! Nice variety of animals too. This is a great example of how they have to contort themselves to get a drink. Whoever designed the giraffe and made it tall to reach the high branches and leaves, forgot that the poor things needed to stoop down to drink as well!

Excellent capture of their drinking behaviour!
