Here's my excellent animal portrait for the plethora of photography contests on Steemit! 

The theme for the 60th Steemit Photography Challenge hosted by @jamtaylor is Animal Portraits, so behold:

These are giraffes, the tallest land animals in the world! You can tell they are ladies because their little horns are covered in fur - males have bald horns. 

Giraffes live in Africa, but these gals live at a zoo in Oklahoma. As you can see, they have long necks and large spots. They eat the leaves of trees and have long tongues to help them reach to the tippy top! 

What an interesting creature, eh??

That was fun. Photography is awesome! It's a great way to play together & share our lives, and there are plenty of opportunities to do that here!! 

Steemit has a robust photography community. In addition to @jamtaylor's SPC, many of our fine Steemians host initiatives to enter your art, so check them out if you like: @daveks does a B & W challenge, @timsaid does MyPictureDay, @juliank does a bunch of stuff -
