Giraffes are the tallest mammals on Earth. Adults can grow up to 18 feet tall and weigh up to 2,800 pounds. Giraffes are herbivores, which means they only eat plants. They eat leaves, stems, and fruits from trees and shrubs. Giraffes use their long necks and tongues to reach leaves that other animals can’t reach. Giraffes are very social animals. They live in groups called “herds” that can have up to 50 members. Male giraffes visit herds of females to mate. Giraffes give birth to one calf at a time after a 15-month gestation period. calves weigh about 150 pounds at birth and are about 6 feet tall. Giraffes are born with horns, but the horns are not attached to the skull. The horns are used for protection from predators and for fighting with other giraffes. Giraffes are native to Africa and can be found in woodlands, savannas, and grasslands.
