The giraffe is an African even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest living terrestrial animal. Giraffes usually inhabit savannahs and woodlands. Their food source is leaves, fruits and flowers of woody plants, primarily acacia species, which they browse at heights most other herbivores cannot reach. 

DIET

They also feed on shrubs, grass and fruit. A giraffe eats around 34 kg (75 lb) of foliage daily. When stressed, giraffes may chew the bark off branches. Although herbivorous, the giraffe has been known to visit carcasses and lick dried meat off bones.

LIFESPAN

Lifespan is between 20 and 25 years in the wild and 28 years in captivity.
