Isn't it gigantic? From its height of 5.5 meters, the giraffe dominates the savannah and holds the title of "highest terrestrial mammal". Easily recognizable by its very long neck, the giraffe is fawn-colored with large orange spots and has at the top of its head 2 small horns called ossicones. This herbivore loves leaves (especially acacia) which it can graze at the treetops. It can eat more than 5 kg of leaves per day! It also has a very long tongue which can measure more than 5 cm.
