Giraffes! Learn about Giraffes for Kids

The video explores the unique characteristics of giraffes, native to Africa but found worldwide in zoos. Giraffes are the tallest land animals, with long legs and necks, and they consume up to 75 pounds of leaves daily. Their long tongues help them reach high foliage. Giraffes require little water, drinking only every few days, allowing them to roam the savanna. They are social animals, living in groups called towers, and use their height to spot predators.
