Where Do Giraffes Live?

Giraffes are amazing animals that live in a special place called Africa. They love to roam around in the savannah, which is a big, grassy area with a few trees. You can also find them in grasslands and open woodlands, where they have lots of space to move around.

Giraffes Love to Be Social!

Did you know that giraffes are very friendly animals? They like to hang out with other giraffes in groups called herds. Usually, there are about 10 giraffes in a herd. But these herds are not always the same! Giraffes like to make new friends, so the members of the herd often change.

More Fun Facts About Giraffes

Giraffes are the tallest animals on land. They have long necks that help them reach leaves high up in the trees. This is great because they love to eat leaves! Giraffes also have long legs, which help them run fast if they need to. Even though they are so tall, they are very gentle and calm animals.

Why Are Giraffes Special?

Giraffes have beautiful spots on their bodies, and no two giraffes have the same pattern. It’s like they have their own special coat! These spots help them blend in with the trees and bushes, keeping them safe from predators.
