How to feed a giraffe

Big day at the MN Zoo. On top of looking at all the other animals, we got to feed giraffes. Not for free though, they sell giraffe crackers for $5. Pretty clever idea for the zoo. They can have all the guests pay for the food for the giraffes. I don't know what other expenses there are associated with having a giraffe, but food has to be a big bill.

You give them your 5 bucks and they let you into a elevated little gated area for some instructions. Here are the instructions:
1. Don't touch the nose of the giraffe.
2. Hold the cracker by the corner. The giraffe will scoop it up with it's tongue and it happens fast.

Nataly wasn't scared at all. She went right up to the giraffe and let it grab the food out of her hand. It didn't phase her at all that they were 12' tall and hungry.
