two small horns on its head. Giraffes have big brown eyes and are protected by thick and long
eyebrows. Her body is covered with a unique pattern that is attached by brown spots all over

Just like camels, giraffes can survive without drinking for a long time because giraffes can rely
on the water contained in the leaves they eat. Giraffes are very selective in choosing food. They
always eat young leaves that grow in the tree tops. Their tongue shaped like a knife help them to
cut branches that are very hard.

Female giraffes can start pregnant at the age of five years, with a gestation period of 15 months.
Commonly female giraffes bear one baby, but sometimes two babies at once. Giraffes bear their

breastfeeding within an hour of birth.
