The giraffe is the tallest of all living land animals. A male can go up to 18 feet and a female up to 15 feet.
Such height enables them to escape the competition for ground level grass that exists among other leaf
eaters. It also gives him a long range of vision. He takes the warning of the approaching enemy early.
Giraffes eat a variety of leaves but acacia leaves are their favourite diet. In spring when many trees are not in
leaf they spend 80% of the day eating. In summer when trees are in full leaf they need only 15%. The rest
of the time is spent in resting and quarrelling. A giraffes’ long neck is made up like that of man and most
other mammals, of only seven vertebrae. The bones are attached to one another with ball and socket
joints. These make the neck flexible. It can run at 50km per hour. Rising from a lying position is a
problem for such a large animal. So it usually keeps standing while it sleeps. To reach water with such a
long neck and legs a giraffe spreads its front legs wide apart. Then it lowers its neck to drink. This
awkward position makes it easy for the lion to attack it.
