JulieLeung.com: a life told in tidepools

Giraffes are often noted for their long necks, but I was surprised to discover how long (and dark and sticky) their tongues are also.

We had fun as a family, squealing and experimenting, bonding with each other and the beasts, offering pellets of food for the blue-gray tongues to scoop and slurp from our hands.

If you’re ever in Richmond, Virginia, it’s worth a trip to the zoo just to experience the giraffes.
