                                              Giant giraffes!

All Giraffes species are native to Africa. Giraffes are the world's tallest mammals. A giraffe's legs alone are taller than most humans - about 6 feet!

 People do not know why giraffes need the little horns that they have, some people think they use it to get leaves from the highest untouched leaves at the top of trees, others think they use it to fight, and who knows what others think!

Unfortunately, the population of giraffes is decreasing. 

Did you know, a giraffe's heart weighs about 25 pounds?!
