We all know about monkeys’ prehensile tails,
Grabbing branches for swinging.
An elephant has a prehensile trunk.
The length can wrap around a tree,
And the tip can clamp together to eat a lettuce leaf.
A giraffe has a prehensile tongue,
Blue in color, with a natural sunscreen,
Eighteen inches, extending out.
The giraffe produces a viscous saliva as well,
To prevent acacia thorns from sticking
As they go down the six foot throat.
