It can be even half of a meter long! So it helps the giraffe to reach the highest leaf on a tree.
It’s really involving to watch these animals, even in the zoo. They seem so majestic with their inredible long neck. They can bend it into a beautiful arch if they wish to reach for something tasty.
I have recently visited giraffes in the Zoo in Wrocław together with my penpal from Holland. One of them drew its neck so closely to the fence that we could even touch it. It was such a fun to look at its tongue moving in zigzaks like a snake 🙂
