PIC BY LINDA DE WAAL / CATERS NEWS AGENCY - (PICTURED: Two Giraffes in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.) - This giraffe appears to have taken the phrase wind your neck a little too literally as it was pictured without its most distinctive feature. The giraffe is almost unrecognisable in this bizarre photograph which shows the giraffe without its characteristic long neck. But while it may look like this giraffe suffers from an unfortunate deformity, its unusual appearance is actually the result of a perfectly timed photo. Amateur photographer Linda de Waal, 57, was in the right place at the right time as she took the photo at the exact moment the giraffe bent down and its neck disappeared out of view. - SEE CATERS COPY *** Local Caption ***
