I am so impressed with the work your company chooses to support. Kudos!

That's so cool. You got to feed a giraffe! WOW!
How wonderful to be that close-up-and-personal to these Magnifent Animals. I have a great great friend who LOVES Giraffes....I nust tell him this place. I think he would be in Hoggity Heaven to be that close to his very favorite Animal
Nice to know that Petco does such wonderful things, Rick.
I would love to have been there! I didn't know they could be so tame as to eat from your hands.
I love that park - better than any zoo I've been in. Cannot believe Goldy lived in SD and never went. Got to feed the giraffes here are Busch Gardens - same style as what they do at the animal park. Funny that they had black tounges so as not to get sunburned!
My daughter LOVES giraffes; I'll have to show her these photos.
This is one SD attraction we've not yet visited. Maybe next time.
I think gentle animals with big eyes and long eyelashes are very appealing to us.
Rick we're glad to see you enjoyed your visit to the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park and that you came away with some great photos. Did you notice that not only is their tongue really long but the first half is black while the rest is pink? It is thought that the first part may be black to keep it from being sun burned while they eat all day! Have a wonderful weekend.
I love giraffes. Thank you for the pictures.
Giraffes are great. Thanks for this sweet post. I love animals for their purity of heart.
