Giraffe?

    I suppose this snout belongs to a giraffe?

    I don't think so, giraffe nostrils are much further back and sort of on top of its nose, and the snout is flatter with "whiskers" on both the lower and upper lip:

    I think it looks a bit like a topi:

    Indeed. Hard to tell from just that little bit, but I think we agree that it's not a giraffe 😃

    Also, giraffs are so tall that close-ups are usually just legs. If it was a giraffe sniffing the camera I think the angle would be different.
