It is a wildlife  park where you drive through various  zones, along a predefined path, and see  different animals.  It starts with Bear  Zone then on to Lion Zone, Tiger Zone  and Cheetah Zone, among others.<br />
<br />
We proceed to the <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=herbivore">Herbivore</a> Zone and  start watching this young giraffe feed  on some food that is situated in a  "bowl" at the top of a somewhat tall  pole.  This is done in order to  facilitates making it easy for  giraffe's to eat because of their  height. We are literally about 3 feet  (1 meter) from the giraffe with nothing  but the metal and glass of my car to  seperate us from this "wild" animal. <br />
<br />
All of a sudden she turns around and  looks directly at the car, peering in  through the driver side window.  She  then ducks her head towards the  windshield where she whips out her  tongue and starts licking the window!   After getting a taste for the glass she  decided to run her tongue across the  entire length of the top of the car and  stops at the back window and licks some  more, before moving along on her merry  way.  This whole episode lasted roughly  30 seconds and was the highlight of the  day, leaving us all laughing  hysterically.<br />
<br />
With all that said, I was lucky enough  to have already had my camera in my  hand and was able to snap this picture  during the 3 or 4 seconds she took to  lick the windshield.  Talk about luck  and timing! ]]></media:description>            <media:thumbnail url="http://th00.deviantart.net/images3/150/i/2004/139/0/f/Just_Lick_It.jpg" height="150" width="114"/>            <media:thumbnail url="http://th04.deviantart.net/images3/300W/i/2004/139/0/f/Just_Lick_It.jpg" height="394" width="300"/>            <media:content url="http://th01.deviantart.net/images3/PRE/i/2004/139/0/f/Just_Lick_It.jpg" height="1024" width="780" medium="image"/>
