Feeding the giraffes

Emily was just assigned a research project about giraffes and we figured some hands-on research was necessary.  So, we took a trip to the Atlanta Zoo (where they talked us into buying a yearly pass - anyone up for a zoo trip with us next time?) and we got to feed the giraffes!  So much fun - and much cheaper than feeding the pandas.  I think those things just eat solid gold bricks or something.  Lettuce for giraffes is much more economical - and check out that crazy tongue!  Did you know it's dark to keep it from getting sunburned?  Just one of the many factoids that we learned about giraffes during the creating of this report!
