Giraffe

The giraffe is the tallest animal with the longest neck. It has been a popular attraction on safaris and in zoos since ancient times. Its Latin name means "camel-leopard," a term dating back to antiquity because its height resembles that of a camel and its coat pattern that of a leopard.
It prefers dry savannas, and its main food source is acacia leaves. It can consume up to nearly seventy kilograms of green fodder daily. Every giraffe has spotted fur; the size and contours of the spots vary by subspecies, while the pattern varies from individual to individual. The base color can be sandy, light brown, or yellowish, while the spots can range from yellow to dark brown.
A giraffe’s horns are bony growths covered in skin. It is a social animal, living in herds averaging 15–20 individuals, which are loose and can be quite mixed in terms of age.
They defend themselves against predators by kicking and head-butting. They are mostly attacked only by prides of lions. Before mating, the male determines the selected female’s fertility by tasting her urine. A baby giraffe (about two meters tall and 60 kilograms at birth) stands on its feet just 15 minutes after birth. In the wild, it lives for 10–15 years, while in captivity it can live for 20–25 years.
