Tongue playing by a giraffe in a Zoo

time3 mo agoview2 views

Although the giraffes and zebras have their vista, unlike they would have on the African savannah, blocked by the inevitable quarry walls of Doué-la-Fontaine Zoo (Bioparc de Doué-la-Fontaine), the enclosure seems to provide an adequate area for the species to flourish and conduct most of their natural behaviour. Nevertheless, the tongue playing in the video below is slightly worrisome. This twisting movement of the tongue outside this giraffe's mouth was quite persistent and should probably be regarded as abnormal repetitive behaviour. Although it could be related to the animal's feeding behaviour.
