We've all seen a million giraffes, so I know that my giraffe needs to offer a little extra. No problem. Behold the tongue action as this giraffe munches on a branch of some kind at the San Diego Zoo.

Not only the tongue action, but the time travel action is extra special.
maybe kevin can fill us in how we're dealing with covid at this point. and how the market is doing ...
There are acacias in southern Africa (Vachellia) with spines that are 3-4" long. It's fascinating watching giraffes use their long, prehensile tongues to delicately pluck out the foliage from between the spines.
By the way, your giraffe is probably a female, based on its hairy horns. However, in captivity, the males may not get to fight as much as they do in the wild, so their horns might not go bald as quickly.
Nice shot.
I'm viewing your giraffe while the Netflix movie "The Social Dilemma" is on in the background, and feeling pretty good about commenting on an "old school blog" instead of clicking a "like" on Facebook.
Those tongues are almost scary. I once watched a giraffe throwing its tongue repeatedly up into a tree's branches ... it looked to be two feet long or thereabouts.
