The giraffe is the worlds tallest animal.

Oxpecker birds like to help giraffes by eating bugs off their backs

Males and females tend to eat from different parts of a tree to ensure that the sexes do not compete for food.

Giraffes have elastic blood vessels in their neck to help bend their heads down and keep consciousness each time they try to drink

A giraffe is one of the few animals that uses mostly its front legs when it runs.

Like human fingerprints, each giraffe's coat is unique.

Heeeeeeeey! #giraffe

Giraffes can go for long periods without water. Since they assume an awkward stance to drink-this makes them less vulnerable to predators.

There are many kinds of giraffes in the world: Kordofan, Angolan, Southern, Nigrian, Reticulated, Masai and Rofts Giraffe.

Giraffes are nonterritorial and sociable. They live in loose, open herds.

Giraffe footprints are 12 inches and 9 inches wide.

Each time a giraffe picks up its neck it picks up 550 pounds!
