A giraffe will usually run when it is threatened. However, to protect its young or if there is no way out, it will strike with its neck and hooves.

The word giraffe has two syllables. The syllables of the word are gir-affe.

**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.

Giraffes have unusually high heart rates for their size, at 150 beats per minute. They have four chambered, stomachs, they breathe through lungs, and they have four chambered heart.

Like all life forms from HIV to apes, by natural selection or sexual selection or random genetic drift or a combination of these.

Giraffe, the tallest living animal. It is a ruminant (cud-chewing mammal). It lives in dry savannas of Africa, south of the Sahara. A related animal, the okapi, inhabits the forests of the upper basin of the Congo River. The giraffe is a descendent from Paleotraginae and Sivatheriinae. Paleotraginae looks like a deer with outward pointing sharp antlers. Sivatheriinae looks like a bulky horse with weird chubby antlers.And okapi looks like half zebra half horse with small antlers.

The average female is 15 ft tall (4.5 m.) and 2600 lbs. Males are generally 18 ft tall (5.3 m.) and 4255 lbs. And the calves are normally 6.2 ft. tall and 225 lbs.

yes of course they are thanks to their long necks

Giraffe's drink milk from their mother. This is really important for them because they need to grow fast in order to be able to reach their food source.

Any living thing needs three basic things to survive, food, shelter and clothing.

A baby giraffe is called a calf.

Giraffes that live in the wild normally shelter under tall trees, but those who live in captivity live in very tall shelters because of the the giraffes' height.

Giraffe's usually inhabit Savannas and Grasslands that are abundant in trees like Acacia, Commiphora, Combretum etc. They browse on twigs of tree, preferringt he Acacia, Commiphora and Terminalia. They also feed on grass and fruits.

giraffes are omnivores so they eat primarily plants and vegetation, which is abundant in trees which are, you guessed it, TALL. most other animals cant reach or climb trees so they scavenge on the ground where over time vegetation will become more scarce due to all the traffic. sooo, long neck + tall trees = more food for giraffes.
