Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
Los Angeles Zoo is located in Griffith Park and is home to more than a thousand animal species from around the world. In the centre of the shot you can make out the shadows of a pair of giraffes, which is pretty awesome. There are lots of other enclosures and cages in the shot but I can’t make out any other animals. Can you?
Thanks: Matt Waggoner

There seems to be invalid markup in this post - in the IMG tag, you have:

These are causing the LiveJournal feed to throw up.

Just to let you know.
You might want to give credit to the guy who found these giraffes in the Google Earth Community Layer - his GEC id is: pkoetters and here is his post:

Why? Can only he have found them?
Ciaran: thanks for pointing that out, should be fixed now.
