Brief introduction of giraffe

Giraffe (scientific name: Giraffa camelopardalis): It is a ruminant cloven-hoofed animal, which grows in Africa, and its Latin name means "camel with leopard print". They are the tallest land animals in the world.

Giraffe has a pair of big brown eyes, prominent eyes, can rotate around, has a wide field of vision and is tall, just like a living "lookout", and can see the movement in the distance. Giraffes run very fast because of their long legs, which is also practiced in the competition for survival.

The posture is very special when running. First stretch your head and neck forward, then retract and swing alternately. The quadruped's walking style is different from other animals, which is that the same leg and the other leg alternately move forward and jump. Run fast. Height and long legs, limbs can be kicked in all directions, with a wide range of blows and great strength. If an adult lion is unfortunately kicked, its leg can be broken immediately.

Extended data

Giraffes are mild-tempered, modest, elegant and polite in the group. They come and go affectionately, get close to each other and take care of each other. Their long legs often touch each other, usually for a long time, but they never quarrel or contradict each other because of such a trivial matter.

This closeness to each other is not only for warmth, but also for safety. A warm current spread silently to every giraffe in the group at the same time. They often communicate with each other with their heads and necks, gentle and careful, just like a cluster of tall banana trees, born from the same root and waiting for each other. Their actions are so easy-going, kind and natural, which fully deserves their beautiful appearance.

Giraffes occasionally fight with each other. However, friction is only an episode in life. Giraffe intimacy ceremony is a very important thing in their lives. This is a demonstration of the collective strength to protect the territory, and it is also a way to allocate spouses. Giraffes have a hard horn-shaped skull, which makes them not injured even if they collide.
