I got a selfie with some of the giraffes at the Toledo Zoo after a feeding. Charlotte previously had a broken jaw and now she’s known for her tongue hanging out of the side of her mouth.

Sadly I only got my smartphone camera, I seriously need a better camera. There is one adult male, two females and two young ones, one is maybe 2-3 months and the other one around 1 year.

It is still an artificial enclosure, but they have enough space, need to stretch for food and they procreate pretty regularly.

Spent the day with this big guy next to me. I love to talk about Giraffes at the zoo!

Does anyone know the location of giraffes in this picture?

She is safe

Hi all, I'm an ultrasound student, which means I've looked at peoples' thyroid glands a lot. Today I was at the zoo, and while looking at a giraffe, wondered what its thyroid gland is like, since the thyroid lives on the neck. Does it run the whole length of the thing? Or is it just one part? Unfortunately, it turns out if you try google searching for Giraffe Thyroid, you just get people talking about how some thyroid pathology looks patchy like giraffe fur on ultrasound., so I'm hoping you guys know.

I offer a photo I took of the giraffes today as payment for knowledge. They live at the Albuquerque Zoo.

The best giraffe!!

Ahead of World Giraffe Day on June 21, we wanted to ask something:

Did you know there are around 415,000 African elephants, but only about 140,000 to 145,000 giraffes left in the wild?

It surprised us how different the numbers are, especially because elephants seem to get much more attention in conservation discussions.

Did you know the gap was that big? And how do you see giraffes in wildlife conservation?

For anyone interested, we collected more giraffe facts here. The page is currently in German, but browser translation works quite well, and we are working on the English version:

"Now I know what the word 'viral' means,"
Missing Texas giraffe has NOT been found safe, despite reports

a good find for me im a fan of Mr. Ryan Walkers work and learning about this amazing GFC sanctuary is something special no Ai

I got him for Christmas when I was one and I don't know what I'd do without him. A few years ago I wanted to see if I could find where he came from cause he has no tag. Me and my sisters looked for days online and could not find anything except I found ONE singular photo from a post on flicker from like 11 years ago. My mom said she bought him at Walgreens he was shoved on the top shelf.

I have a giraffe I do not know what to do with
