Zoo behind the scenes 2012

We got to go behind the scenes at the zoo again and this year it was the giraffes and lions. We saw the giraffes first and got to feed them lettuce then we went to the lions barn where they were in a cages right in front of us. The two females just sat there and looked at us the whole time. It was pretty cool seeing them up so close

I love this shot of Ellie's loooong tongue. We learned that their tongues are black to protect it from the sun since it is out of their mouths up to 18 hours a day while eating leaves off trees

 
 

This lion's tongue sticks out because she is old and missing teeth
