Olivia reported that Bahatiki had a long, slimy tongue.
We had a lot of fun!

This is incredible. Olivia and the Giraffe seem to get along so well!

What a wonderful photo! Your composition is just perfect, and the timing couldn't have been better! I once fed a giraffe by holding a carrot in my mount while it leaned all the way down to take it from me. Totally freaked me out but, it was gentle and we sort of touched lips in the proces. Their heads are HUGE! --Jim--

A lovely shot Cindy. lt takes me back to SA. The tongue lS long and very tough. The G's run their tongues along the branches of thorny trees to strip off the leaves and it's sticky so the leaves don't fall off en route to their mouths. l love the languid eye that signals that all is well. All this talk of big G's and not a word of admiration for the lovely Olivia.
