Giraffe is the tallest animal. Giraffes are mammals. Males giraffes weight 2,600 lbs, but females are only 1,830 lbs. How crazy is that that males giraffes weight almost over a ton over female. And in height giraffes grow from 14ft to 17ft. The tallest giraffe that was ever put in records was 20 ft tall. The closest relative of giraffe is okapi. Giraffes are vegetarians, they are found in the areas of acacia. I bet Giraffes have very long and tough tong too. Because acacia is like a rose only it's a tree in all those spikes. But when there's no leaves around and only water. Giraffes will drink very large amounts of water to survive. Almost like camels do, but only camels can stay up for a long time with out water and food. And also the camels eat spikes. I don't know why is the closest relative to giraffe is okapi.Giraffes have the amazing coloring of irregular patches of yellow to black fur separated by white, off-white, or dark yellowish brown background. Giraffes are amazing animals. What amazes me the most about giraffes is that their necks are so long. The coloring is beautiful, and they even have horns.
