**Being so tall, this animal has to make adjustments to reach the water to get a drink. The giraffe will get close to the water and spread its 6 foot tall front legs apart wide to be able to reach the water. The giraffe will suckle the water or suck the water through its lips.
A giraffe's neck is long enough to reach a high treetop. Yet it is too short to reach the ground. That makes it hard for a giraffe to bend down for water. To get a drink, a giraffe must first spread its front legs wide apart. Then it lowers its head to the water.
They part their front legs a much wider and bend their neck down so they can drink from a river or pond.
