Their long necks help giraffes eat leaves from tall trees, typically acacia trees. If they need to, giraffes can go for several days without water. Instead of drinking, giraffes stay hydrated by the moisture from leaves.

Formally known as Giraffa calopardalis, the giraffe is the tallest mammal in the world. The average male giraffe weighs 2,420 to 4,250 lbs, while the female weighs a small 1,540 to 2,600 lbs. Giraffes have a very strong odor that is obnoxious to humans but protects them from many types of parasites.
Don't think you'll ever find 2 identical giraffes, because there is no 2 giraffes that share the same exact spot pattern!

Giraffes tend to live throughout arid and dry savanna zones. In the South of the Sahara, where the trees are abundant, giraffes gather around for their feasts. They can also be spotted on the West African and Southern Kalaharie ranges, and also throughout wildlife preserves.

Giraffes are hunted for their meat, coat and tails. The tail is prized for good luck bracelets, fly whisks and string for sewing beads. The coat is used for shield coverings. Habitat destruction and fragmentation are also threats to giraffe populations.
