Giraffe saliva

At the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens in Palm Desert, they have a number of animal exhibits, but the big draw is the giraffes. It's not merely that they are the only animals who aren't listlessly lying around in the midday heat.
There's a baby giraffe, named Maliki. He won't come too close, but that's what zoom lenses are for.




The adult giraffes also show their special skills.
And there's a platform from which you can feed them! The staff have pellets that you can place on their tongues.
