I recently spent a couple weeks in Kenya mostly working from sunup to sundown with Dr. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louise_Leakey - Louise Leakey of the http://www.turkanabasin.org - Turkana Basin Institute , Deming Yang of the http://www.museums.or.ke/ - National Museums of Kenya and my colleague Gonzalo Martinez.of http;//usa.autodesk.com - Autodesk . I thought I might share a fun photo with you from the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giraffe_Centre - Giraffe Centre located just outside Nairobi Kenya before our research work in Northern Kenya began.

So here is me taking a big wet kiss from a rare female Rothschild Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi.)

Trivia: Giraffes can have a 50cm (about 19-1/2”) long sandpaper textures tongue with a slimy grass flavored slime coating.

I am still awaiting the call from this Giraffe, but sadly she has not called me yet.
