Eating a meal with the family pet at your feet is not at all an uncommon sight. Now when that animal is a giraffe, well, that's a little odd.

“In many ways, the setting is just a typical family breakfast.

Young children and their mother enjoy croissants and orange juice while sitting around a table together.
But things become a little different when you notice a giraffe poking its head through the window to join them for a drink and a bite to eat.

In fact, the Carr-Hartley family have the unusual distinction of sharing their home with eight Rothschild giraffes, some of the rarest on the planet.

Every day shortly before 9am, the mammoth beasts stroll up to the house and poke their heads through the windows and doors in search of morning treats.

Married owners Tanya and Mikey Carr-Hartley literally share their dining table with them.
And now the pair are sharing the mesmerizing experience with the outside world – by opening the manor gates to guests at the world’s only giraffe hotel.”
