The animals I want to research are giraffes. Giraffes are from the group of vertebrates, called mammals. They are interesting animals and I want to know why they’re shy as well as giraffes’ other behaviors.

Giraffes have very big eyes. They are the tallest land animals. Adult male giraffe’s height is 17 feet tall on average. Giraffe patterns is dark color and brown patches.

Giraffes live in different parts of Africa. Giraffes need a place that have trees. Giraffes live in an open forest where the trees are not too close together because if a lion is coming, the branches might get in their way.

A giraffe’s main predator are lions, but because of the giraffe’s long neck, they can see the lion coming.

Giraffes only eat leaves on the trees in their habitat. Giraffes use their long tongues to get the leaves off the trees.

What Do They Eat?

They are quiet by nature, however they can make many other sounds like mooing, snorting, growling, etc. if they wanted to.

I didn’t know that giraffes had different patterns all over Africa. The longest a giraffe has ever lived has been 28 years. Female and male giraffes have horns.
