This is one giraffe with brass neck.

One of the famously lofty creatures has become an internet sensation after photobombing a holidaying couple.

Gary King and his girlfriend Lisa Kennedy, from Ireland, had decided to visit a theme park and safari every two days of their two-week stay in the U.S.

And during one of their days out, a laughing giraffe managed to get into a shot of the couple while they were standing by the enclosure.

Lisa said: 'It was lashing raining that morning so we had to wait until the afternoon to go on the safari at Busch Gardens - that day was the dullest of the two weeks.

'We were taking a lot of pictures that day as there were animals everywhere and giraffes all around us on the safari, we didn't look at the picture until that night back in the hotel room and we couldn't believe the face the giraffe had pulled in the photo, he was looking straight at the camera.

'I'm obsessed with animals so I was delighted.

'We can't believe how many likes and shares it has and we've been getting loads of lovely comments.

'Our 15 minutes of fame made us smile and now we want to get a better photo I want to go to Dublin Zoo at the weekend for a few elephant selfies.'

Maybe the giraffe just wanted feeding, as it seems much better behaved as it munches on some greenery

The cheeky shot has been a hit since it was shared online.

Michael O'Brien said: 'Love it. Who says animals don't have a sense of humour. He's only having a giraffe.'
