At up to 17 feet tall, they are the world's tallest land animals. The Giraffe has long legs and a long neck that make it really tall. They like to eat all kinds of plants such as acacia trees, vines, and bushes. Male Giraffes eat the highest leaves and female Giraffes eat leaves that are a little bit lower. This ensures that both sexes get enough food because they are not competing for the same leaves.
Giraffes use their long tongues to grab the vegetation they eat.
They pull branches and vines through their teeth to scrape off all the yummy leaves. Giraffes get most of the moisture they need from the plants they eat. They can go up to a month without drinking. If they do drink, they must spread their legs wide in order to lower their long necks to a pool of water. They are born with their horns flat on their skull.
