A giraffe’s heart is 60 centimeters long and weighs about 11 kilogram’s and its lungs can hold 55 liters of air! Is it any wonder that they are considered to be giants among animals?
A giraffe needs a lot of food since it is so big. It may eat up to 34 kilograms of food per day. The acacia leaves that they love to eat contain a lot of water, so giraffes can go a long time without drinking. When giraffe get thirsty, they have to bend a long way own to drink from a lake or stream!
Both male and female giraffes have two distinct, hair covered horns. Male giraffes use their horns to playfully fight with one another. As male giraffes age, calcium deposits from on their skulls, and other horn-like bumps develop. The pattern on a giraffe’s coat is very good camouflage. Many people have been fooled into mistaking a giraffe for an old dead tree!
