The giraffe is the tallest land animal, known for its long neck and legs. Adult giraffes can reach heights of up to 18 feet. They primarily inhabit savannas and open woodlands in Africa, where they feed on leaves, fruits, and flowers from tall trees. Giraffes have a unique coat pattern made up of irregular brown patches separated by lighter fur. Their long necks allow them to access food that many other herbivores cannot reach. Giraffes are social animals, often found in loose groups called towers, and they communicate through various sounds and body language.
