Giraffe
The Back Story:
Giraffe head
Giraffes are superbly adapted to exploit a food source that is out of reach for other hoofed animals. They feed almost entirely on leaves of acacia, mimosa, and wild apricot trees. The 18-inch tongue is wrapped around a branch and as the head is pulled away, leaves are stripped off.
The giraffe is one of the few ruminant born with horns. Both sexes have horns which are covered with skin. The horns of males are thicker and heavier and are used in fights between males. The long neck contains seven vertebrae the same number as most mammals, including humans.
