About the Giraffe
The giraffe is a long-necked animal native to Africa. Its distinctive features include long legs and neck, its short forelegs and very long hind legs, and a pattern of dark interspersed by bands of lighter color across the body.
Unlike most other mammals that walk on four limbs, giraffes walk with their rear legs alone, leaving their front legs free for eating leaves or browsing bushes for food.
The scientific name for the species is Giraffa camelopardalis. The giraffe is the tallest living land animal, and one of the most distinctive animals in the world.
All giraffes have a distinctive fur pattern, which is a light, ochre-colored fur on top with dark brown fur underneath. The patterns are unique and their neck markings may be used to identify individual animals.
At birth, baby giraffes are already 1.45 metres tall.
