When I was younger I went to the zoo with my family. I cant remember which zoo it was, but they had a deck high up where you were able to feed the giraffes at their resort. This was a very nice feature of the zoo. This was the main reason for our visit since giraffes happen to be my favorite animals.
The whole family went myself, my sister, mother, sister-in-law and nephew. This was around 3 or 4 years ago.
There were at least 3 giraffes they were huge and had brown patches on their hide. Their habitat was a safari theme. They had tall trees and bushes for the giraffes to feed. When feeding the giraffes you get to see and touch their long purple/blue tongues. A giraffes tongue can be up to 20 inches long! Their tongues are used to reach twigs, flowers and leaves from high branches. When you feed the they will usually lick your hand with their large tongues.When I got the chance to feed the giraffe I got to pet the giraffe. The giraffe also licked my face!! It was an amazing experience, so gross, yet cool! The large tongues taste buds felt so weird on my face. The tongue was very wet too! This was such an amazing trip. Especially them being my favorite animals. I also got to take home a stuffed giraffe they had at the gift shop at the safari. We had a lot of fun viewing all the animals. This trip was a very fun and educational time. This was very memorable to me. We ate a picnic outside the zoo at a picnic table, were we ate sandwiches and drank juice.
