Giraffes: Majestic Creatures of the Savanna

Giraffes are known for their long necks, which can be 6 to 8 feet long. Newborn giraffes are about 6 feet tall, matching the height of their parents' necks. They use their necks to reach high branches for food and engage in social behaviors like neck wrestling. Giraffes rarely lie down, sleeping for only 5 to 30 minutes a day while standing. They are among the largest, strongest, and most peaceful animals.
