Description

Giraffes are mammals. They have fur on their body. Each giraffe has a different pattern on it's coat.

The oxpecker helps the giraffe by eating parasites in the fur.

Giraffes are the tallest animal in the world. They have long legs and a long neck .

Giraffes can run fast. They use their long legs to protect baby calves from attack. If a dangerous predator comes they are able to kick it in the head and kill it.

This video from National Geographic shows how giraffes eat and move.
