Giraffe feeding on acacia tree.20.8Kb

 This is a Giraffe Feeding. The giraffe is feeding on an acacia tree which is extremely thorny. The thorns are not a deterrent but reduces the feeding rate to a level by which the plant can survive. The thorns get imbedded in the tongue's thick mucous covering and get shed as new cells replace the old.
