[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
may I have another cracker?

Up close and personal with a giraffe at the Cincinnati zoo.

Very difficult to get this shot due to the crowding - cut off part of the hand, but I'm not too disappointed.

I have it on good authority the the tongue is extremely rough - many times rougher than a cat's tongue.

Hi Greg
That´s really funny.
A great shot, on the right time.
A good flagrante, yes.
Kind regards,
Nivaldo

Hi, Greg Nice shot you must be hoisted up in a crane to get this close. I think the tongue is rough to adapt itself to the thorny acacia tree in Africa their favorite diet. Photo is sharp and even humorous. Cheers. Please do not go near the lion or bear tongue. Cheers.

Hello Greg,

I just HAD to open this from the smaller image just to see what kind of creature's tongue that was. I thought maybe it was a snake or something . . . and that tongue looks almost porous, interesting and eek! A clever moment captured . . . though the giraffe should probably not be fed these "human treats." :O)
