Original Toronto Star caption: Cecil is a sneaky Giraffe. Eighteen-year-old Carole MacInnes-Rae appears to be somewhat unnerved during her visit yesterday to Metro Zoo. But wouldn't anyone if their hair had just been parted by a giraffe's tongue? It happened to her just seconds before picture was taken; when Cecil; zoo's largest male giraffe; was let out for first time this year.
