Here’s a fun fact: you can tell how old a giraffe is just by looking at its spots. If a giraffe has dark spots, it means it’s older. If the spots are lighter, the giraffe is younger. It’s like a secret code on their skin!
Giraffes are the tallest animals on land. They have long necks that help them reach leaves high up in trees. They love to eat leaves, especially from acacia trees. Giraffes also have long tongues, which they use to grab leaves. Their tongues can be as long as 18 inches!
