The giraffe is the tallest land animal, known for its long neck and unique coat patterns. They are gentle giants that roam the savannas of Africa.

Habitat

Giraffes typically inhabit savannas, grasslands, and open woodlands across sub-Saharan Africa.

Diet

These herbivores primarily feed on leaves, fruits, and flowers, especially from acacia trees, using their long tongues to reach high branches.

Interesting Fact

Giraffes only need to drink water every few days, as they get most of their hydration from the leaves they consume.
