Fun History
Giraffes are the tallest mammals on Earth, with long necks that can reach leaves high in acacia trees. A giraffe’s neck has the same number of vertebrae as a human’s—seven—but each bone is much longer. Their patterned coats of irregular brown patches on pale backgrounds provide camouflage in the savanna. In many African cultures, giraffes symbolize gracefulness and serenity; their gentle demeanour makes them zoo favourites worldwide. Giraffes have a prehensile tongue around 45 centimetres long that they use to strip leaves from branches.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do giraffe patches look like?
Each giraffe has a completely unique patch pattern, like a fingerprint. The patches are irregular polygons in shades of orange, brown, or dark chestnut, separated by lighter cream-colored lines. Older giraffes' patches tend to darken with age.
How tall are giraffes?
Giraffes are the tallest living terrestrial animals — adult males can reach 18–19 feet tall. Their neck alone can be 6 feet long, yet they have the same number of neck vertebrae as humans (seven) — just much larger ones.
