Giraffes in the Desert

[Artyczar]

Last week for my birthday we went to the Living Desert Zoo/Gardens in Palm Desert. An amazing place where I got to hand-feed a giraffe some lettuce. I'd show that particular picture, but I have several chins in it, so you don't get to see it. Instead, here are much more amazing images of the giraffes.

Looks like a sight you will remember. Was sit your first time seeing them up close and personal?

 

[Artyczar]

That close, yes! I never fed a giraffe before. It's tongue was very long and I got slobbered on!

So you had a very happy slobber day. They must have been a sight to behold. Glad you got to go.

How Fun! Good for you, and them.

great pictures.

WHen I was a kid my class took a field trip to the zoo. I was by the Giraffe encloser taking notes when one of them bent over and grab my pencil and ate it!

 

[Artyczar]

Ha ha ha!! That is a GREAT story! How funny!
