There's that bottom lip again <3

Really, I don't know. She tolerates it well and seems to enjoy the attention, BUT I'm also not giving her a choice. She does what I tell her to do. It has to be that way with a camel.

Lion Country? You might know my boss DJM.

Lily lives on my ranch. There are two different giraffes that I posted earlier and both of them live on different ranches. I see the one pretty regularly. He lives on the same ranch as the 32" sulcata with the overgrown bottom lip.

Great more pics from Tom! So how are camels to train? Do you have a pics of her from movies?
I love looking at your pictures but I know there's lots of un-glamourious (spelling?) work that goes with it.
All those mouths to feed EVERYDAY and I know there's loads of poop to clean EVERYDAY too.
Keep the photo's coming because we love to 'peek' in on your world.

So when you ride a camel do you always sit on the "back end" like that? I LOVE all you pictures.

Was he in Irvine (Laguna Hills) or West Palm Beach, FL? I worked in FL and the initials don't trigger anything!

It was here in So Cal. Must have been Irvine. Now that I think about it the ages are way off too.

I went to the FL one in 2008. Very cool. Aldabs right when you first drive in. We stayed right there for a good 20 minutes. Later we had a big rhino walking along side our rental van for a good 5 minutes. It was really fun.

I just LOVE Lily! Is it hard to get with the bounce when you have to sit so far back and over the back legs? When riding a horse, you are able to "get with the bounce" after a bit of getting used to it, and not opposing the bounce, so to speak.

My day at work doesn't hold a candle to yours! What a lucky guy to have such an interesting job.

I'm about 40 minutes south of the West Palm Beach LCS, it's always fun. They let you feed giraffes now!

Yeah! Don't think I ever mentioned this before, but I named Mortimer after a giraffe I cared for at LCS...big chocolate Reticulated, who died a coupla years ago...funny animal...would NEVER let cars pass from the chimp islands into his territory without receiving a hand-out! That's it! Gotta go photo hunting!:D

What a sensation that must be to ride so far back...has Ava ever tried it? Is it possible for her to double up with you?
