Giraffe

Giraffes are the tallest mammals in the world. We can find them in central, eastern and southern
Africa. Some of them are also kept in the zoo. A giraffe has a long neck and long legs. The long
neck helps it to eat leaves from the tall trees. It pulls the leaves by its long tounge. Around his
body, it has spotted patterns. “Giraffa camelopardalis” is its scientific name. On the top of its head,
there are small “horns” or knobs. They are used to protect the head when fighting.
