3/2/2006: Giraffe Manor

I've been to that place - not in the hotel, but in the grounds as a day visitor. They have a tall round viewing hut - you stand on the circular veranda on top floor, and the giraffes can wander over and say hi at your level. They sell bags of special pellets that you can feed to the giraffes, and when the giraffes seeyou have one of these bags they stretch their long tongues (up to 50cm long!) out to you to ask for them. One of the keepers said "you want to kiss giraffe?" I said "huh?" and he demonstrated by holding one of the pellets between the lips. The giraffe tongued it out of there! Hmmm...

But footsie, giraffe's don't stink, at least not more than the average cow. Perhaps the doe you were sniffing just had bad personal hygiene? Or do you sniff a lot of doe's legs? Oh deer.
