TEXT: GIRAFFES
Giraffes are the tallest land animals on Earth, with some males reaching up to 18 feet in height. They are known for their long necks, which help them reach leaves high in the trees, especially from acacia trees, their favorite food. Despite having long necks, giraffes have the same number of neck vertebrae as most mammals – only seven. Giraffes are native to Africa, primarily in savannah regions. They live in herds, and their spots serve as camouflage in the wild. Giraffes are social animals and communicate through sounds like grunts and snorts, although they are generally quiet. One of their most amazing features is their powerful heart, which pumps blood up their long necks to the brain. Unfortunately, giraffes face threats from habitat loss and illegal hunting, leading to a decline in their population.
