Giraffes are the tallest animals on earth. Male giraffes can grow to a height of about 17 feet. Giraffes only
live on the continent of Africa. The only giraffes in the United States are found in zoos or animal parks.
Besides standing on long legs, giraffes have the longest neck of any animal. The neck of a giraffe can be
eight feet long. Giraffes love to eat leaves. Giraffes get enough food because no other animals can reach
the same food that giraffes can. Giraffes spend most of their time eating. Giraffes don't sleep much. They
just take short naps while standing up. Giraffes don't drink much water. They get most of the water they
need from the leaves they eat. It is very hard for an adult giraffe to get a drink of water from a stream or
pool. Giraffes are beautiful animals. They have an unusual coat that has large brown spots on a cream
colored background. There are many different kinds of giraffes across Africa. Each kind of giraffe has a
slightly different shape to their spots. A giraffe's coat pattern helps it to blend in with the landscape in
which they live.
