One of the more popular attractions at the Indy Zoo is the twice-daily opportunity to feed the giraffles.
(For those who didn't know, giraffles have tongues a foot long or so. And they're blue like a chow dog.)
BONUS!: Meta-giraffles!

I never realized Gene Simmons is part giraffe.
I'm slightly frightened that I got the Firefly reference in your title.
Their tongues are also rough--like 50 grit sandpaper.
I have a great picture of a giraffe sticking his head in the covered truck at the Glen Rose Fossil Ridge wildlife preserve in Texas. My wife has a cup full of "giraffe treats" and those giraffes know all about them.
Cool animals. Real cool.

Many years ago I took my kids to the Lowry Park Zoo and we visited the giraffe exhibit. There was a box of multigrain crackers from hell sitting in the pavilion and the girls began eagerly feeding the giraffes. I stood, mesmerized, until an zoo employee approached and explained that the crackers were $2 a piece.
Stand-ins for the dinos, who were unavoidably detained.
Shiny!
Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys?

I cannot wait for the pictures of the vervet monkeys, and the attendant caption!
Yep, Firefly here too :-)
I'm willing to bet that a significant number of gun bloggers are Firefly fans!
