Can a Giraffe Lick its Own Ear?

Some say the tongue of a giraffe is so long it can lick its own ear. While we haven’t actually found video footage to support this statement, there’s no denying a giraffe’s tongue is exceptional both in terms of size and colour. Being about 45 cm long could make it physically possible to get rid of ear wax, but it’s more likely you’ll see it used for grasping foliage and cleaning its nose.
