    Giraffes live in Africa and each has a unique pattern on their fur. They are very tall with long necks that allow them to reach leaves and flowers high in trees. A male giraffe can reach almost 6 meters tall. Giraffes rest while standing but will sometimes lie down to sleep, though it is difficult for them to get back up. They use their long tongues to eat leaves, flowers, and sharp prickles, chewing their food for a long time each day.
