A couple of Giraffes have exchanged vows in Rio de Janeiro as part of the city zoo's breeding programme.

Beija-Q, which translates as sky kisser, and Zagallo, dated for a month before deciding to tie the knot. But the marriage has not yet been consummated, despite a mating ritual led by a small group of Brazilian Indians.
