Standing up to 18 feet tall, giraffes are the tallest mammals on Earth! Their long necks allow them to reach high branches, particularly acacia trees, which are their favorite snack. Despite their height, giraffes only have seven neck vertebrae—just like humans! Their unique spotted coats help them blend into their environment, keeping them safe from predators.
Fun Fact
Giraffes sleep for just 30 minutes a day, often standing up!
