Did you know a giraffe's favorite snack is acacia leaves. But acacia trees are famous for their long sharp thorns. Thankfully a giraffe’s sticky saliva will coat the thorns they might swallow to protect their esophagus.
With the help of their prehensile tongue, that measures 18-22 inches long, they can wrap around and strip branches and leaves. Helping to avoid the thorns!Did you know a giraffe's favorite snack is acacia leaves. But acacia trees are famous for their long sharp thorns.

Max is definitely feeling Friday!
This picture might not capture his acrobatic agility. But siamangs have extra-long arms that help them cover up to 10 feet in a single swing! They can even walk along branches with their arms outstretched to help them keep their balance. ... See moreSee less
