Giraffes are large, herbivorous mammals found in the savannas of Africa.

They are known for their distinctive long necks and legs, which help them reach high into the trees to forage for food.

Giraffes are the tallest living land animals, with males reaching heights of up to 18 feet and females reaching heights of up to 14 feet.

They are also among the heaviest living land animals, with males weighing up to 3,000 pounds and females weighing up to 1,600 pounds.

They are social animals and are often found in herds of 10 to 20 individuals. They are non-violent animals and do not use their size and strength to fight with other animals.

Instead, they use their long necks and sharp hooves to defend themselves against predators such as lions and hyenas.

These herbivorous animals primarily feed on leaves and shoots of trees, such as acacia, mimosa, and wild apricot.

They are able to survive in dry and arid environments due to their ability to extract moisture from the plants they eat and their ability to go without water for long periods of time.

Giraffes are endangered due to habitat loss and poaching. There are currently several conservation efforts underway to protect and preserve these majestic animals.
