A grinning giraffe stuck it's neck out and photobombed an unsuspecting couple's holiday selfie.
Gary King, 29, and insurance worker girlfriend Lisa Kennedy, 26, posed for a photo in front of a group of giraffes while on safari at Busch Gardens in Orlando, Florida.
But when the couple went to take the shot one photogenic giraffe rushed forward and stunned Gary and Lisa by flashing a grin for the camera.
The shot has since gone viral after being posted online and has hit more than 10,000 shares on social media.
Call centre worker Gary said: "We had tried to get a good picture with all of the giraffes behind us but he seemed to push his way to the front.
"It was actually taken last year in September, we didn't think anything of it until it popped up on a Facebook page - I've no idea were they plucked it from but since it has circulated.
"It was literally only when I saw it being shared that I realised how funny it was.
"I'm glad it has given people a laugh, my girlfriend has had a tough year also so I'm glad it's cheered her up a little as well"
The cheeky shot has been a hit online.
Michael O'Brien said: "Love it. Who says animals don't have a sense of humour. He's only having a giraffe."
Siobhan Butcher said: "Absolutely class, what a smile."
Lisa Brennan added: "This giraffe has sure got style."
