What are Giraffes

Giraffes are pretty intelligent animals. They are a african animal that lives in Safari ,Deserts and more. They are animals that are fast and can see prey easily so they have time to run away. Giraffes are very physical animals.A Giraffe is 18 ft males and females are 14 ft height they can weigh up to 1750 to 2800 pounds they can run up to 35 miles per hour and they can travel 10 kilometer a day.I found out that Giraffes swing their necks to fight each other. Giraffes have purple tongues.They have purple tongues so when they eat from the treetops so their tongue does not get sunburnt that colour makes it not sunburn because it's not an attractive colour.they have tongues that are 20Inches long. A giraffe's body does.Underneath the patterns on their skin they have sweat glands underneath they have a very strong heart, well three hearts and the hearts are 25 pounds and the size of 50 men or women. A giraffe is a mammal just like us.Giraffes have very strong legs and neck but not when they fight their neck loosens and swings everywhere.They are the tallest mammal in the world.when they give birth and sleep they do it standing up.
