Did you know...? Giraffes are the tallest living land animal measuring up to 5.5 m high The scientific name for giraffes (camelopardis) came about because people originally thought the giraffe was a cross between a camel and a leopard - due to its leopard like spots and hump on its back! Dispite their very long neck, giraffes have the same number of neck bones as we do - only 7! Except their neck bones are 25cm long. A giraffe´s tounge is 18 inches long - which helps them collect the 34kgs of leaves they eat each day. |
Female giraffes are pregnant for 14 months after which the baby falls almost 2 meters to the ground - talk about a rude awakening! The giraffe has the longest tail of any land mammal, measuring up to 8 feet! Although considered relatively placid animals, giraffes make a variety of noises including a moo, hiss, roar and whistle. Giraffes are by no means defenceless animals. They can protect themselves with powerful kicks and can run up to 56 km/hr |
