A baby giraffe is already taller than Daddy when it is born! Grown-up giraffes are about as tall as a school bus standing on its end.
Their neck is 6 feet long, but it has only SEVEN bones—just like you and me. The bones are only bigger!
Their tongue is 18 in long and dark purple, so it does not get sunburned when they eat leaves from thorny trees.
Giraffes love acacia leaves. They use their tongues like stretchy hands to pluck leaves without getting poked by thorns.
Every giraffe wears its own polka-dot pajamas. No two coats are the same—just like your fingerprints!
They walk slowly and nicely, but one kick can scare a lion away. They fight by swinging their strong necks like big pillows.
To drink water, they must spread their front legs very wide because their neck is too short to reach the ground easily.
A giraffe’s heart weighs about 24 lb—as heavy as a big watermelon! Now let's follow the instructions to learn how to draw this magical creature!
