The Big Fellow





The big fellow is our favorite in the game reserves. The first time that we visited a game park we drove inside the front gate and seven or eight giraffes met us. We had never been close to an unhindered giraffe before. We drove up to that crowd standing in the middle of the road and they were not challenged at all. They acted as if this was their park, and that we were merely intruders into their sanctuary.
When you stand in a zoo gazing at a giraffe, he looks tall, but it is nothing like driving up to one standing in the middle of the road. Tall does not describe them. They are intimidating, but they are lovable and look like they really want you to like them.
They don’t hide because they can’t hide. They are too tall. They want to be around their favorite kind of tree, The Thorn tree. They like those leaves way up at the top of the tree. Evolutionists tall us that the giraffes neck is long because they wanted to get those leaves at the top of the Thorn tree. How did they know they wanted to get them? What’s wrong with all the other animals that they didn’t want to have those delicious leaves? They could have stretched their necks and had them too.
All of the animals are beautiful and fun to see, but our favorite is the giraffe. They are really something when six or eight of them are stretched out across the skyline
