1. Giraffes are the tallest mammals on Earth. Their legs alone are taller than many humans

—about 6 feet.

2. They can run as fast as 35 miles an hour over short distances, or cruise at 10 mph over

longer distances.

3. Giraffes drink water every couple of days because leaves have water in them. When they need to drink from the waterhole they have to spread their front legs out because

their necks are too short to reach the ground when they are standing up.

4. Giraffes have 4 stomachs.

5. The age of a giraffe can be worked out from its spots. The darker the spots, the older the

giraffe.

6. A giraffe's feet are the size of a dinner plate—approximately 30 centimetres across.

Females use their hooves as weapons to protect their young. They are strong enough to kill a lion, the giraffe's only predator aside

from humans.
