Giraffes can inhabit savannas, grasslands or open woodlands. Mature giraffes have large hooves about the size of dinner plates, around 12 inches wide. Compared to other hoofed mammals the giraffe has a relatively short body, however, its legs are disproportionately long.Ī giraffes front legs are about 10% longer than their hind legs, a feature that contributes to the animals steeply sloping back. Exceptionally large males may weigh up to 1,900 kilograms (about 4,200 pounds).įemale giraffes are smaller, rarely reaching half that weight. In addition to its great height, the giraffe is also one of the heaviest land animals. Their tail can grow to be 8 feet (2.4 metres) long, including the tuft on the end. ![]() The giraffe has the longest tail of any land mammal. Adult males stand 15 – 19 feet (4.6 – 6.0 metres) tall, whereas females are shorter at 13 – 16 feet (4 – 4.8 metres) tall.Īdult males weigh between 1,764 – 4,255 pounds (800 – 930 kilograms), while females weigh only 1,213 – 2,601 pounds (550 – 1,180 kilograms). The giraffe is the tallest living animal which is instantly recognizable by its exceptionally long neck. Male giraffes are called ‘Bulls’, female giraffes are called ‘Cows’ and baby giraffes are called ‘Calves’. The giraffes ancestors first appeared in central Asia about 15 million years ago, however, the earliest fossil records of the giraffe itself, from Israel and Africa, date back about 1.5 million years. Although the Okapi is much shorter than the giraffe, it also has a long neck and eats leaves and both animals have long tongues and skin-covered horns. The giraffes range extends from Chad to South Africa. The giraffe is related to deer and cattle, however, it is placed in a separate family, the Giraffidae, consisting only of the giraffe and its closest relative, the okapi. The great thing about this track is the composer provided an alternate version of the mix the excluded the piano melody which I used at the end of the video to give it an even more ambient effect.The Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis meaning ‘fast walking camel leopard) is an African even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest of all land-living animal species.

I felt pretty good during the hike and the whole snowy adventure got my energy up for quite a while but unfortunately I crashed for two days afterwards. This was my first major hike since by battle with long Covid began two months ago. I was able to fly the drone during breaks in the snowstorm. The blizzard hit just as I was making my way to the fields at Villanova. I spent the night out in the field in the hot tent so I could get an early start up the mountain to film the predicted snowstorm.
