Yes and apparently their tongues are covered in thick, sticky saliva too. You could feed them at Colchester but for some reason I didn't fancy it. Lots of good colour and detail in this, I'm struck by the stubble around his chin!!
Ohh I love this!! Most people never take a close up of a giraffe...but you got him good eh?!! Look at those pretty eyes and that gorgeous coat he's wearing. I need to get me a "foux" giraffe coat! The colours are just awesome. love that twirling tongue bit....could be handy for all sorts of stuff:) No wonder they eat the leaves off those tall trees, that tongue can reach wayyyyyyyy up high!!!I will enjoy smiling each time I put this on my monitor. Thanx...V
I was taking a second look at this photo, my gosh Steve, you got such a gorgeous close up...I looked at this giraffes eyelashes, and the softness of his coat, well, I can almost feel it. Your camera and you did such an awesome job on this. I would LOVE to make a poster of this guy, one of my twin granddaughters loves Giraffes, so this photo is going to be sen to her that's for sure. Thankies so much. V
