Details for Giraffe

• Giraffe

  Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) are the world's tallest mammals, instantly recognizable by their extremely long necks and legs, and distinctive mottled coat patterns. Native to the savannas and open woodlands of Africa, they can stand over 5.5 meters (18 feet) tall. Giraffes are herbivores, primarily Browse on leaves, flowers, and fruits, especially from acacia trees. Their long necks allow them to reach vegetation inaccessible to other browsers. They are social animals, living in herds, and are an iconic symbol of the African wilderness. While some populations are stable, the species as a whole is classified as vulnerable.
