Giraffes are related to horses. They have very long necks to reach the leaves they eat. Their bodies are covered with large brown spots. Giraffes have long black tounges to help them gather leaves from the branches. They are usually found in the Sahara deserts. On their heads are two (or rarely more) little stumps used to attack predators. When giraffes get a drink of water, they have to spread their legs out long and bend their necks all they way down (at this time when they get drinks, they are open for attack for any predators because it takes a little while for giraffes to get back up properly.).
