However, Bea is more closely connected to her Wilma, than Wilma is, this is all that zookeepers have observed so far about them. Jason Green, assistant curator at the park said in an interview, “Bea likes to use her tongue to explore her surroundings, and Wilma isn’t fazed by those very close encounters.” Both of them are protective of each other and they don’t like any interruptions in their quality time with their best of a pal. “There’s plenty of opportunities for the animals to interact and know one another,” Green explained.

“Giraffes and ostriches are both naturally curious animals, too, and they don’t shy away from checking each other out,” Green further added. Maybe now we know the main reason other than their ‘long necks’ which brought the two closer and set an example for the rest of the world most probably lies in their curious natures.
