GIRAFFES

Giraffes are African mammals, the tallest animal and the largest ruminant. They have
beautiful spotted coats. Otherwise, no two individuals have exactly the same pattern, giraffes
from the same area appear similar.

Giraffes have four legs and long neck. The front and back legs of a giraffe are about
the same length. A giraffe’s legs alone are taller than many humans about 6 feet (1.8 meters).
These long legs allow giraffes to run as fast as 35 miles (56 kilometers) an hour over short
distances and cruise comfortably at 10 miles (16 kilometers) an hour over longer distances.
They have only two gaits: walking and galloping. Walking is done by moving the legs on one
side of the body at the same time, then doing the same on the other side. When galloping, the
hind legs move around the front legs before the latter move forward, and the tail will curl up.

Giraffes rest by lying with its body on top of its folded legs. To lie down, it kneels on
its front legs and then lowers the rest of its body. To get back up, it first gets on its knees and
spreads its hind legs to raise its hindquarters. Then, it straightens its front legs. With each step,
the animal swings its head. In captivity, the giraffe sleeps intermittently around 4.6 hours per
day, mostly at night. It usually sleeps lying down, but, standing sleep is also possible for the
older girrafes.

Giraffes are extending its tongue to feed. Its tongue, lips and palate are tough enough
to deal with sharp thorns in trees. They use their height to good advantage and look for leaves
and buds in treetops that few other animals can reach, aciacas is their favourites. Their
tounge is also long. It is 21-inch (53-centimeter), so it can help them pluck tasty morsels from
branches.
