The giraffe is a type of animal that belongs to the group of mammals, it comes from the African continent and is considered the tallest animal in the world; It belongs to the Giraffidae family, it is found in the south of the Sahara and in the northern region of Botswana, occupying open spaces, savannas and, to a lesser extent, grasslands.
It is an animal with sexual ambivalence, that is, there is male and female, the weight of the male is approximately 1,900 kg with an approximate height of 5 to 6 meters, quantifying from its horns to its legs; the females are smaller with respect to the males since they have a height of 2 to 4 meters and their weight is approximately 1,100 kg, this is the length that allows them to have an ideal access to the leaves at the top of the trees.
Both sexes have the peculiarity that their front legs are longer than their back legs, this explains why they must flex and open them to be able to reach objects at ground level such as drinking water or food; These herbivorous mammals despite being very tall are very slow when running, the maximum speed is about 60 km / hour, they sleep little since they only do it for two hours a day. The horns of these animals are known as Ossicorns and are made up of totally bony tissue, females tend to have shorter horns compared to males and as time passes the males may present a third false horn as a product of storage calcium.
The fur of giraffes is mottled for both sexes and its color will not vary, what could be modified is the color tone because it is directly related to the state of health of the animal, the tongue of these animals is very long measuring approximately 50 cm and they use it to clean the area of their ears. The way in which they communicate with each other is through the emission of sounds that are imperceptible to the human ear, for this reason in any film giraffes are mute, these sounds are sent by waves within the infrasound group impossible to hear by the man.
