What do you get when you have 8 Meerkats, 6 Giraffes a bucket of carrots and a container of mealworms? A very sticky situation!
It's not often you meet one of the largest mammals and also one of the smallest on the same day, but Stacey and I did just that. We chilled with Giraffes and Meerkats, two very cool animals!
Who couldn’t love Meerkats? When we jumped in the exhibit with them they were all over us like flies to a hot chicken sandwich. I have an inkling that's only because we had food. They're not so much into manners though as they tend to snatch and grab anything they like.
Meerkats are even smaller in person than they are on TV. They have these tiny little heads and paws. They're so cute! It makes you want to pick them up and squeeze their little faces. Of course you wouldn't try it as they take themselves very seriously and would snap and bite and tear at your hands…Youch! Yeah, they don't muck around.
The Giraffe's we're so overwhelming!! You stand amongst these huge long necks and stare at these massive heads that are lashing you with crazy long tongues! When you pull a piece of carrot out of the bucket they all go for it and you end up with Giraffe slobber on your hands, your shoulders, in your hair, on your face …haha you get the idea!
Have you ever seen Giraffes fight? It is INTENSE!! They basically swing their heads from right up high and butt the opponent around the chest area. It's full on because they have fur covered horns… and the speed and force that they do it…WOW! I have no doubt a Giraffe could knock me out faster than Rocky.
I wonder who would win between a Giraffe and a Meerkat? I mean Giraffe's are big but Meerkats have speed and agility…

PS – Does anyone out there like my shirts? I always get a hard time for my colourful sense of taste around here….
