Giraffe National Geographic

The giraffe, scientifically known as Giraffa camelopardalis, is an iconic mammal characterized by its long neck, distinctively patterned coat, and towering height, making it the tallest land animal on Earth. Found in the savannas, grasslands, and open woodlands of Africa, giraffes possess adaptations such as a prehensile tongue, specialized circulatory system, and keen eyesight to thrive in their habitat. They primarily feed on leaves and buds from acacia trees, using their elongated necks to reach high branches. Despite their imposing stature, giraffes exhibit gentle and social behavior, living in loose herds and displaying intricate communication through various vocalizations, body language, and gestures
