#DoodlewashJanuary2021 Prompt: Growing. It’s stretching like a giraffe’s neck, but I’m claiming this for the prompt because it’s obvious that giraffes do a LOT of growing! And eat growing leaves. Yeah. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Did you know that a giraffe’s neck is not long enough to touch the ground? That’s why they have to spread their legs so wide when they drink or graze.

Love your giraffe and info. Always a sweet way to start the day. Thank you 🤗
Many thanks!
Not long enough to touch the ground? That sounds like a manufacturer’s flaw! ha. But perhaps that’s to discourage the young from lazy eating habits! This is a lovely drawing of of a young giraffe on the savannah. Your sky looks especially beautiful on this rainy day!
Thank you, Judy! Giraffes are such amazing creatures!
I did not know that about giraffes but it makes sense 🙂
Giraffes are really odd animals – not just for their long necks and tongues!
Greetings. I’d like to manage my subscription but it’s impossible to do from your latest email. I’ve tried before. Can you help?
