Giraffe Basics
Giraffes haven't
been studied very
much. Let's take a
closer look at these
gentle giants:
High-end Dining
Safety Goggles
Long Reach
Spot On
On the Move
Kicking It
Tummy Time
High-end Dining A giraffe's
neck and narrow head
help it reach between the
branches of trees to find
leaves to eat.
Safety Goggles Long
eyelashes and thick
eyelids protect a giraffe's
eyes from thorns in trees.
Long Reach A giraffe's tongue
helps it reach the juiciest leaves
at the tops of trees.
Spot On A giraffe's spots
help it blend in with
its brown habitat.
On the Move A giraffe moves its
right legs together, then its left
legs together. A giraffe can run
much faster than a person.
Kicking It A giraffe’s front legs are
longer than its back legs. Its legs are
strong. One kick can hurt a lion.
Tummy Time Like cows, a
giraffe has four stomachs.
