Giraffe Head Up

Isn't it gigantic? From its height of 5.50 meters, the giraffe dominates the savannah and holds the title of highest terrestrial mammal. Easily recognizable by its very long neck, the giraffe is fawn-colored with large orange spots and has at the top of its head 2 small horns called ossicones. This herbivore loves leaves (especially acacia) which it can graze at the treetops. It can eat more than 50 kg of leaves per day! It also has a very long tongue which can measure more than 50 cm.
