Are you ready to see the cutest thing in the whole entire world? Seriously, I think this may be the most adorable video.
The camera was ready to roll when a baby giraffe, who spent the morning cuddling up against his mom, caught sight of a lovely butterfly fluttering by on a sunny day. It looks to me like this is the first butterfly he's ever seen — because it excites him so much that he follows its movement closely, then springs into action, running across the grass like a little kid. He eventually loses track of the butterfly, but it was enough to keep his spirits up. Soooo cute!
According to National Geographic, giraffes use their height to good advantage and browse on leaves and buds in treetops that few other animals can reach. Even the giraffe's tongue is long! The 21-inch tongue helps them pluck tasty morsels from branches. Giraffes eat most of the time and, like cows, regurgitate food and chew it as cud. A giraffe eats hundreds of pounds of leaves each week and must travel miles to find enough food.
