"Charles—it was love at first sight when I saw your beautiful, long neck..."

"Nadine—you're the one with the vertebra that WON'T QUIT"

How does this even happen?! Ostriches have a reputation for being kinda jerkish (solidified by the one at the zoo trying to attack me last summer). But ah well, it's a giraffe so I'm morally obligated to go "Squeeee!!!!" :)

The next pic I wanna see is of the two necks twisted up like a pretzel with them smooching at the top!

Yeah, Katiedid. Think of how big an omelet you could make out of a giraffe egg. :D

Ahhh, the glorious denizens of Great Neck, falling in love....

Fuhgedaboutit, Jake. It'll never work. You need more than long necks around which to build a lasting relationship.

This will only last till the next migration.

What, no "Interspecies Snorgling" label? Guess we have to wait for the follow-up picture.

Nope, a romance like that, could be a pain in the neck.

Kar
 |  Sep 15, 2008 at 10:20 AM

Giraffe: "I used to be a great sword swallower!
Ostrich: "Ooh, why'd ya quit?"
Giraffe: "I couldn't see the point."

Berthaservant, excellent Long Island reference. And how are you?

Jabbo, are you telling me ostriches migrate?!?

And yes, interspecies snorgling for sure!

AmyJ
 |  Sep 15, 2008 at 11:37 AM

Please, if this is photoshopped, don't tell me. (hope it's not) I prefer to gaze at the simple sweetness, peace, and beauty of it all in ignorance. Thanks.

I had no idea that giraffes could sit/lie down. I thought they slept standing?

curious

Sweeeeet!

 |  Sep 15, 2008 at 12:04 PM

I want a giraffe egg.

Katrina
 |  Sep 15, 2008 at 01:31 PM

Friends furever! Or is it furfeather? Love it!

Czechmate
 |  Sep 15, 2008 at 02:09 PM

As has been pointed out, this should be Interspecies Snorgling and Matchingks!

AuntieMame
 |  Sep 15, 2008 at 02:21 PM

Whoa! Inter-species dating!

Brenda
 |  Sep 15, 2008 at 02:22 PM

Oh that is so cute to see animals of different species getting along. I presume that is at a zoo or animal park? I guess people with long necks do stick together, lol. So cute! :-)

The love that dare not speak it's name...

MoonCatty
 |  Sep 15, 2008 at 04:53 PM

Yeah my first thought was hey, I've never seen a giraffe sitting down like that!

Megan
 |  Sep 15, 2008 at 08:42 PM

Great photograph, great text by NTMTOM, great comments on this one!

True love overcomes obstacles. These two are adorable. Long live Giraffe-Ostrich love!

would a giraffe egg have giraffe spots?

taj
 |  Sep 16, 2008 at 09:21 AM

taj- yes, of course! *snert*

Katrina
 |  Sep 16, 2008 at 10:47 AM

So, NTMTOM seems a lil
intimidated by our constant demand for
INTERSPECIES SNORGING
category representation.
No worries Mikey, you cant be all the men all the time.
sometime you must submit to the insistance of the COL audience.
now, please to add.
it must be so. we will still lurve ya.

 |  Sep 16, 2008 at 07:53 PM

Whoa, Darkshines. Synchronized sitting.

Theo
 |  Sep 17, 2008 at 05:17 AM

Of course they are sitting, they are laying their eggs! (*SHESH*)

Katrina
 |  Sep 17, 2008 at 05:50 AM

This is pretty funny. A giraffe and an ostrich? Maybe the only thing they recognized about each other is the neck length. True love is blind about everything else though. ;)
