The giraffe is the tallest living land animal. As it chows down on leaves from tall African trees, it fears almost no predators. Giraffes grow up to 20 feet tall!
Other than lions, giraffes don’t have much to fear when they reach adulthood. Their height lets them see an ambush from far away, and their legs can deliver powerful kicks. Their necks are also formidable weapons, especially when male giraffes fight with each other for the affections of a female.
Scientific Name: Giraffa camelopardalis
Giraffes can easily be identified by their elongated necks, mosaic patterned fur, and their “ossiscones”, those skin-covered knobs atop their heads. This Safari hand-painted giraffe figurine makes an excellent addition to any collection!
While this figurine has white fur with dark brown patches, giraffe spots can be many different colours, including orange, brown, chestnut, and black.
