This was my first time hanging out with giraffes and they are such gentle giants. I wish I had more time with them now looking back. They were so tall! I know, I know. Giraffes right? Seeing one up close was phenomenal thinking about how small they made me feel and now I know what it feels like to meet a center for the Los Angeles Lakers.

They can live up to 25 years in the wild and up to 40 years in captivity. Their long necks keep them safe by helping them be the ultimate lookout hero for the herd. They are very social animals and may travel up to 15 in a herd.

Giraffes eat up to 45 kgs of leaves per day helping them stay hydrated so they only drink water every few days. They're herbivores so their long necks help them reach the leaves high up in the trees. For us, we were feeding them Chinese long beans which I hope tastes like the leaves they eat in the wild. I love my new giraffe friends!

Great pictures! There's something so noble about giraffes.
It was my first time hanging out with giraffes and I learned how gentle they are that day :) Thanks for coming by and have an awesome rest of the week.
