Double the ‘Tocks, Double the knobbules. [The Scroll Down]

by Meg on February 13, 2009

I’m not sure if this pic is really cute or kinda gross. [Shifty eyes] I think it’s a case of the photographer being RIGHT BEHIND this ‘tocktacular scene… right!?

3 Theo 02.13.09 at 8:00 pm

Now THAT would be one freaky hybrid. Never mind your ligers and zorses.

4 scooterpants 02.13.09 at 8:00 pm

5 eris 02.13.09 at 8:00 pm

What I want to know is, what is that ostrich looking at/for?

6 Theresa 02.13.09 at 8:00 pm

Wow. Backwards-bending knees, yet.

7 kibblenibble 02.13.09 at 8:01 pm

Didn’t know the two could get along. Ms. Ostrich could use a bath. =)

8 Eastie 02.13.09 at 8:01 pm

Definitely not gross. I love giraffes! Two ‘tocks for the price of one?

9 Elisha B. 02.13.09 at 8:01 pm

Uhmm……interesting;)

Giraffe: You know what I really HATE?!! Ostriches!! With there ruffly feathers and stuff…
Other Giraffe: *Stares Wide Eyed*
Giraffe: There’s one right behind me isn’t there??
Ostrich: Hurump!

12 catloveschanel 02.13.09 at 8:07 pm

Well, I’ll make like a giraffe, and stick my neck out…

I know that everyone mixes animal prints these days,
but the ostrich feathers and the giraffe print…well, I don’t think so….

Maybe I’ll just make like an ostrich and just stick my head in the sand.

13 AuntieMame 02.13.09 at 8:18 pm

Is this an ostrich or a goose? ;)

14 DumBunny 02.13.09 at 9:01 pm

That’s a Mr. Ostrich, the males are black, the females dull gray/brown to match their background.

15 Theo 02.13.09 at 9:29 pm

i wanna know how the giraffe knew ostrich meat was so tasty. then i want to know how he kept from being constipated by the feathers!

17 itiah 02.13.09 at 9:42 pm

Q: why did the giraffe poop ostrich feathers?
A: because it was too hungry to pluck the bird before he ate it!

18 Manda Bain 02.13.09 at 9:57 pm

…if you’re not leading the pack, the view is always the same.
I’ll bet if you could see the giraffe’s from the front, you’d see eyes the size of saucers! ;-)

19 libo 02.13.09 at 10:06 pm

why do giraffes even BOTHER growing such a tiny mane?

20 cataddict 02.13.09 at 10:12 pm

I want to know just WHERE that ostrich is planning to bury her head?

21 Camille 02.13.09 at 10:40 pm

There are advantages to a tiny mane. No tangles, plus think of all the time you save not having to blow dry it in the morning.

22 berthaservant 02.13.09 at 10:44 pm

You’re all wrong. The giraffe is a female getting an exam.

From an ostrichician.

23 balamuthia 02.13.09 at 11:01 pm

The giraffe looks a little like “HE-llo!”

24 dani 02.13.09 at 11:04 pm

when I took this, the ostrich kept poking at the giraffe which finally got annoyed and walked off. Sorry to ruin the story! :P They always have giraffes and ostriches together at the St. Louis, Missouri zoo, where I took this picture. I’m glad you all seemed to enjoy it! I posted some more pictures from that day, but I have yet to see them on cuteoverload :-) I actually submitted this for Tocktober..took a little while, lol. Later in the day, one of the giraffes came right up near the railing where everyone was and was eating out of people’s hands. It was really neat!

25 Gail (the first one) 02.13.09 at 11:29 pm

Dr. Ostrich: “Turn your head and cough, Mr. McKnobbular.”

26 fish eye no miko 02.13.09 at 11:47 pm

“Would you hurry up? Other people want to use the drinking fountain, ya know!!”

27 Heather 02.14.09 at 1:19 am

Omg, I lol ed that was sooooo unexpected and so funny!!!

28 Annie 02.14.09 at 1:46 am

Ostriches are eggsaperatingly annoying said the giraffe.

29 auntyb 02.14.09 at 2:56 am

Giraffy..”does this print make my butt look big?” BFF Ostrich..”no sweetie you look fabulous!”

30 Rhonda 02.14.09 at 3:21 am

Does anyone else see a startled old man in the ostrich’s butt?

31 Subhangi 02.14.09 at 8:33 am

OK, this is epic awesome. The tallest animal and the tallest bird TOGETHER in a pic? I dig.

Yep, epic awesome.

32 Hon Glad 02.14.09 at 4:55 pm

Ostrich, well your piles seem to be reducing nicely, keep using the cream

33 Deborah Godin 02.14.09 at 6:44 pm

That’s a shot we used to call “just lookin’ up yer old address”…

34 Minutiae 02.14.09 at 7:48 pm

I’m just glad this didn’t get an Interspecies Snorgling tag. ;)

35 Katrina 02.15.09 at 2:52 pm

Iiiiiiiiiiiiii love a parade…

36 blair 02.15.09 at 5:52 pm

now we know why ostriches evolved the way they did.

they’re nature’s proctologists!

badum-bum

37 Noelegy 02.15.09 at 8:08 pm

39 Noelegy 02.15.09 at 8:10 pm

40 kalg 02.15.09 at 9:07 pm

I’m not sure what is going on. I don’t think I want to.

41 Carlisa 02.16.09 at 1:23 pm

The people in this town drive just like that ostrich.

42 Lerrinus 02.16.09 at 6:48 pm
