Did you know that a giraffe's tongue is over a foot and a half long?

It is black because giraffe's stick their tongue out all the time to get leaves

to eat and it protects them from sunburn. Look at that cutie....aw!

I love you baby giraffe!

I got Giraffey when I was 2 and Sandi got Dumbo. She lets me babysit him. They growed up together and do everything with me, even sleep. I got them from the Hogle Zoo! When I cry Dumbo wipes my tears away with his little trunk!

Hogle Zoo Baby Giraffe

I saw this baby Giraffe when I was little at the Hogle Zoo. I love it too, and now I am 6! Did you know that a mommy and a baby giraffe have matching spots?

Baby Zuri at the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City

When I was a baby my mommy took me to the Hogle Zoo and I fell in love with Zuri. Isn't she cute? She is an African elephant and this is her mommy Christine. Christine likes her tusks short so she scrapes them on things to break them and file them like finger nails.

WHY

This is Sara's Mom. I was teaching Sara's Sunday School class and asked the children what they were afraid of, expecting to hear from my daughter something like, "the dark", "the boogieman", instead she looks at me and said, "I am afraid that when I am a grown up it will be too late to save the elephants from the poachers, and no one will want to go to Africa with me." I did not know what to say to my sweet baby at first, but I knew it had to be good. So I asked her who ever said a 6 year old couldn't save the elephants right now, she didn't have to wait to be a grown up. We thought of a few things we could do and came up with a Blog where people can donate to save endangered animals. Because she went on to inform me that when she is done saving the elephants there are lots more animals that need her help.
