Things You Might Not Know About Giraffes

My favorite animal to watch on a safari, are the giraffes.I find them to be very majestic and elegant creatures to watch.They are extremely curious and sure to steal your heart with their long necks, beautiful patchwork coat and lovable nature. Despite that they are one of the most recognizable animals in the animal kingdom, there are a lot of unknown facts about giraffes

Giraffes are the tallest mamals on earth
Their legs alone are taller than many humans-about 6 feet. A giraffe's neck alone is 6 feet (1.8 meters) long and weighs about 600 lbs. (272 kilograms). Females grow up to 14 feet (4.3 m) tall and weigh up to 1,500 lbs. (680 kg), while males grow up to 18 feet (5.5 m) tall and weigh up to 3,000 lbs. (1,360 kg).
They can run 35 mph (56 km/h) in short bursts and run for longer stretches at 10 mph (16 km/h), according to National Geographic.

When talking about giraffe facts, you can’t leave out their beautiful spotted coats. While the different sub-species of giraffes can appear to be similar, all giraffes have a unique pattern. Their spots also darken with age, and scientists have said that they can calculate their age from their spots.

Let’s get started

1. Giraffes can go a really long time without drinking water.
Until you see it, you don’t realize how hard the world’s tallest animal has it. Sure, they may be able to reach the best leaves at the very top of the trees. But imagine the effort that giraffes have to go through just to get a drink of water.

They have to get into a pretty awkward position, spreading their front legs wide and craning their neck downward. Not only does it strain their neck, but the awkward position leaves them extremely vulnerable to predators like crocodiles.
To help with this, their digestive system can obtain almost all the water that they need from the leaves that they eat. Adult giraffes only need to drink once every couple of days, which is why it’s pretty rare to come across a giraffe drinking water.

Male giraffes fight by butting heads, which rubs the fur off their horns
2. You can tell if a giraffe is male or female by looking at the horns.
Both male and female giraffes have horns, but the tops of the horns on a male are almost always bald. A female giraffe’s horns will be completely covered with hair. This is because males establish dominance by fighting with other males, which is called necking, and the hair on top of the horns often gets torn off. Females don’t fight, so they never lose the hair on their horns.

And of list of interesting facts about giraffes wouldn’t be complete without mentioning that a giraffe’s horns are not actually horns at all! They are ossicones, which are horn-like protrusions. They’re formed from ossified cartilage that is covered with skin.

3. Giraffes weigh more than your car 😅.
Giraffes look thin because they are so tall, but an adult male can weigh up to 3600 pounds and an adult female weighs on average 1800 pounds. The average sedan in the United States tips the scales between 1800 and 3000 pounds.

4. Giraffes can run. Fast.
Though most of the time you’ll see giraffes walking leisurely around, they can run. Just how fast do giraffes run? Their long legs help them run up to 35 miles per hour over short distances or to cruise comfortably around at 10 miles per hour over longer distances.

5.Baby giraffes are already 6 feet tall when born.
Baby giraffes weigh in at around 200 pounds and are already 6 feet tall when they are born. They learn to stand almost immediately at birth. They grow quickly, nearly doubling their height in their first year.

6.A herd of giraffes is called a tower.
Giraffes are extremely social and non-territorial. They can live in groups of up to 30 animals that include both males and females, and a variety of ages. Unlike lions or elephants that have a structure to their herds, giraffes have no organization within their herds.

7.No two giraffes’ spotted coats are alike.
When talking about giraffe facts, you can’t leave out their beautiful spotted coats. While the different sub-species of giraffes can appear to be similar, all giraffes have a unique pattern. Their spots also darken with age, and scientists have said that they can calculate their age from this darkening.
