The giraffe is the tallest animal and can grow up to 5.5 meters tall for males and slightly shorter for females. They are found in Africa and are related to deer and cattle but make up their own family. Giraffes have extraordinarily long necks and forelegs to reach high leaves to eat. Their hearts can weigh up to 10 kg to support fluid pressure in their lower legs. Female giraffes have a 14-15 month gestation and give birth to a 1.8 meter tall calf, though the young can fall prey to lions and other predators.

3. Giraffe
Giraffes are famous for their extraordinarily long necks which they can eat the
leaves and similarly elongated forelegs which are much longer than the Back legs.
There are no extra vertebrae, but each of the 7 bones is greatly enlarged. Bone
constitutes the bud like horns called Ossicone, which are covered with the Giraffe's
skin like the rest of the skull.
A Giraffe's heart can be weigh up to 10 kg. The blood vessels in the lower legs are
under great pressure because of the weight of fluid pressing down on them. In the
other animal pressure would force the blood out and through the capillary walls.

Giraffe gestation lasts between 14 and 15 months and a single calf is born. A
new born Giraffes are about 1.8 meters tall. Within a few hours of being born
calves can run around and for the first two weeks they spend most of their time
laying down and guarded by the mother. The young calves can fall prey to
Lions, Leopards, hyenas and African Hunting Dogs.
