iN PHOTOS: Don’t be offended: Kamloops’ wildlife park shares tongue-out photos

The BC Wildlife Park in Kamloops posted some adorably comical photos of a variety of different park animals sticking out their tongues as part of a weekly social media feature.

Critters are seen hamming in it up on camera including a bison, a porcupine, a bighorn sheep, a raccoon, a pig, a deer, an elk and even a frog with a really long tongue.

In the post the public were asked which animal photo is their favourite, and the most popular answer was none because “they're all so cute, it's too hard to choose.”

The wildlife park is home to roughly 200 animals and 65 different species native to the province. The park is a 106-acre zoo that takes in, cares for and rehabilitates animals that have been rescued or were orphaned and are unable to survive in the wild.
