During a classroom video snack visit last week, I was able to participate in a super fun trivia game with the kids. When Mrs. Mitchell and Mrs. Erving were done, some of the kids tried to stump us with their own trivia questions. One of the questions sparked a fun memory for me. The question was:
"What color is a giraffe's tongue?" I actually knew this answer because I had hand fed giraffes on a couple of occasions when I lived in Texas. I tried to find a picture of myself feeding a giraffe, but unfortunately they were taken before digital cameras were a thing. I know - in Ancient Times! Hee, Hee! But I did find a picture that shows the answer! Their tongues are black!!! They are 16 - 20 inches long and scientists believe the dark coloring helps to keep them from getting sunburned while they are eating leaves from the tops of trees under the African savanna sun.

Why?My Dad always told me "You learn something new every day!" And I try to take this to heart. I love exploring my world and learning new things. The best part of teaching is sharing them with others! So here is my place to share some of the things I learn. I hope you learn something new today from here - or elsewhere! ArchivesCategories |
