Giraffe Feeder

Adelina

Age 9Michigan, US

It makes the giraffe's food go higher so that they don't have to bend down to eat. When a giraffe puts its hoof on a button it goes up to the giraffe's height.

Little Inventors team says

Most marvellous Adelina, your idea for the Giraffe Feeder is brilliant! 🦒🌟 Making sure our tall friends won't have to bend down to eat is incredibly thoughtful. Have you thought about how to make the button easy for giraffes to press with their hooves? This would be especially useful for giraffes kept in zoos or rescue centres. Keep up the creative thinking—you're making the animal kingdom smile one invention at a time!

Meeting our Inventor!

Posted 1 week ago by Andrea Smith

A brilliant 4th grader, Adelina, has created a safe and useful way to make feeding giraffes more comfortable for them. Adelina was inspired by the giraffes at the zoo on a recent field trip and thought that feeding them could be easier if someone invented a way for the food to come up to their mouths, rather than them bending down.

Our team at L&L Products had the first discovery meeting with Adelina, where we discussed exactly how she envisions this invention coming to life.

We look forward to surprising Adeline in May with her idea brought to life!
