Don't Eat With Your Mouth Open...

or with your tongue hanging out!

Having been to Global Wildlife once before, we knew what to expect when we got to the 'big cows'. (That is what we call them. We understand it isn't their proper name or scientific classification.) Even when you know what to expect, it's still hilarious to see the big cows come up to your cart, stretch their mouths out wide, and then stick those big tongues out. Evidently we are charmed enough by these strange antics that we fill our cups with feed and POUR it into their mouths.

Watch the pattern here...

Open mouth, stick out tongue.

Someone dumps food in the mouth.

If you don't have a very large tongue and 4 hooves, I don't think you should try this method of getting fed.

. . . And while the llamas can be hand fed and leave no slobber, THESE guys are major slobber experts with those LOOONNGG tongues!!! But as you said-- they charm us and we keep feeding them hoping we don't touch the tongues!!!

Global Wildlife is in Folsom...just north of Covington, so not TOO far away. They have the tours every hour, starting at 9:30 AM. We went on that 9:30 one because we thought it would emptier on a Saturday morning. It took about 1.5 hours from the time we loaded up to the time we were walking back to our car.
