Happy World Giraffe Day! Did you know a giraffe’s tongue measures about 18 inches in length? Their prehensile tongues are specially adapted to skillfully strip leaves from trees while carefully avoiding sharp thorns. Reticulated giraffes are classified as critically endangered by the @iucnred_list . They face serious threats like habitat loss, fragmentation, and climate change, all of which impact the plants they rely on for food. Here at Brookfield Zoo Chicago, we’re proud to be part of the AZA
