Giraffe
Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis), long-necked, cud-chewing, hoofed mammal
of Africa, with long legs and a coat pattern of irregular brown patches
on a light background. Giraffes are the tallest of all land animals;
males (bulls) may exceed 5.5 metres (18 feet) in height, and the tallest
females (cows) are about 4.5 metres. Using prehensile tongues almost
half a metre long, they are able to browse foliage almost six metres
from the ground.
