Giraffe

The tallest living land mammal, the giraffe stands thirty feet and weighs up to 2,600 pounds. The giraffe lives in sub-Saharan Africa and spends its days eating spiny vegetation, which it handleswith its prehensile upper lip and long tongue. Giraffes are gregarious, living in groups of thirty to forty, led by an old bull giraffe. Giraffes breed year-round and give birth after fifteen months of gestation.

Giraffes, like other animals that live in sub-Saharan Africa, have suffered due to poor land management and poaching. Their numbers have dropped dramatically since the turn of the twentieth century.
