About the Giraffe
The giraffe is the tallest animal on Earth, adult males can reach 5.5 m. Its long neck has the same number of bones as ours (seven), each up to 25 cm long. Giraffes browse on the leaves of tall trees, especially acacias, and need only 5–30 minutes of sleep a day. Every giraffe has its own unique coat pattern.
