You may have heard that giraffe and their closest cousins, the okapi, can lick their own eyeballs.

Both species have got super long tongues and this makes sense in theory but... sometimes you have to see it how it actually works to believe it's a real behavior.

There's no grace involved. It's nothing like the ethereal, fae-like aesthetic these guys have most of the time. They just yeet their tongue backwards out of their mouth and bounce it off their face, repeatedly. It cracks me up every time I see it.

This is Sekele, at the Denver Zoo. Enjoy.
