The Giraffe is the tallest of all living land animals. A male can go upto 18 feet and a female upto 15 feet. Such
height enables them to escape the competition for ground level grass that exists among other leaf eaters. It
also gives him a long range of vision. He takes the warning of the approaching enemy early. Giraffes eat a
variety of leaves but acacia leaves are their favourite diet. In spring when many trees are not in leaf they
spend 80 percent of the day eating. In summer when trees are in full leaf they need only 15 percent. The rest
of the time spent in resting and quarrelling. A Giraffe’s long neck is made up like that of man and other
mammals , of only seven vertebrae. The bones are attached to one another with ball and socket joints. These
make the neck flexible. It can run at 50 km per hour. Rising from a lying position is a problem for such a large
animal. So it usually keeps standing even while it sleeps . To reach water with such a long neck to drink. This
awkward position makes it easy for the lion to attack it.
