🎉⁠ Happy World Giraffe Day! 🦒
⁠
Today we’re celebrating the tallest animals on Earth - on the longest day of the year! ☀️🦒 Join us at the Lincoln Children's Zoo and learn more about these amazing animals while having some tall-sized fun!⁠
⁠
World Giraffe Day shines a spotlight on these gentle giants who are currently listed as a vulnerable species. Their numbers are quietly declining in the wild due to habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. That's why days like today matter - because protecting giraffes helps preserve the ecosystems they call home. 🌍💛⁠
⁠
🌿 Feed a giraffe at Lincoln Children’s Zoo and leave with a deeper appreciation for these amazing animals.

🦩 The term filter feeder may conjure images of whales but flamingos are filter feeders too. They eat algae, tiny crustaceans like brine shrimp, and other plants and animals that live in shallow waters.

At mealtime, a flamingo will use its long neck and place its head upside down in the water with its bill pointed at its feet. It then sweeps its head side-to-side, using its tongue to pump water in and out of its bill. Using its mouth like a sieve, it can filter the water and mud out through comb-like plates on the edges of their beaks while keeping the food inside to enjoy.
