5 fun facts about giraffes🦒:
1. Tallest Land Animals: Giraffes are the tallest land animals on Earth—adult males can reach up to 18 feet (5.5 meters) tall!
2. Super Long Tongues: Their tongues can be up to 18–20 inches (45–50 cm) long and are prehensile, meaning they can grasp and wrap around leaves. Their tongues are also dark-colored to protect against sunburn.
3. Sleep Less Than You Think: Giraffes only need about 4 to 5 hours of sleep per day—often taken in short naps standing up!
4. Unique Spots: Every giraffe has a unique pattern of spots, kind of like human fingerprints.
5. High-Pressure Hearts: Their hearts can weigh up to 25 pounds (11 kg) and are super powerful to pump blood all the way up their long necks to their brains.
