Webpages Related to the Tag Giraffes

Giraffes are the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant on Earth. They are native to Africa and belong to the genus Giraffa. Traditionally, giraffes were thought to be one species, Giraffa camelopardalis, with nine subspecies. Giraffes are quadrupeds, four-legged hooved mammals who roam the savannas and woodlands of Africa. Their long necks, richly patterned coats, and stubby ossicones on their heads make them the most easily recognizable of all the animals on earth. Males (bulls) may exceed 5.5 meters (18 feet) in height, and the tallest females (cows) are about 4.5 meters. Using prehensile tongues almost half a meter long, they are able to browse foliage almost six meters from the ground. Here are some fun online games tagged with the keyword giraffe or giraffes.
