Male giraffes can grow to a height of about 17 feet. If you lived in a two story house an adult giraffe could look into your bedroom window on the second floor. Giraffes only live on the continent of Africa. The only giraffes in the United States are found in zoos or animal parks. Visitors love to see the giraffes because they are so tall. 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. With their great height, giraffes easily eat leaves from the tops of acacia trees. Giraffes get enough food because no other animals can reach the same food that giraffes like. 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.
