Giraffes ( Topic 5 )

Giraffes are my last and 5th topic. They are the worlds tallest mammals. ABout 14-19 ft high.Their long bodies help them eat leaves and buds on really tall plants. They eat most of the time and walk around and look for food. A tongue of a giraffe is 21in. They reside on the african savanna so their long necks make it easier to look out for predators. Giraffes only drink water a few times a week because of their long necks. Baby Giraffes can walk after 30min of being alive and run by 10 hours. They run about only about 35 miles an hour. The darker spots they have, the older they are. I picked this because my favorite animal print is giraffe and they are cute.
