Baby Giraffes are very dependent on their mothers for the first 4 to 6 months, relying on their milk for nutrients. After that, the mother will pull leaves off trees to feed to them until they’re tall enough to reach their own. An adult Giraffe will typically consume about 66 pounds of food per day.

Animals with hoofed feet, such as the Giraffe, are known as ungulates. Each foot has two even hooves. Each of an adult Giraffe’s feet are about 12 inches wide. These large hooves give them stability and prevent them from sinking into loose sand.

As the males have larger dimensions than the females, there is sexual dimorphism in this animal.

[119] In turn, it has been suggested that other ungulates may benefit from associating with giraffes, as their height allows them to spot predators from further away. Zebras were found to assess predation risk by watching giraffes and spend less time looking around when giraffes are present. [120] Although they’re not considered adults until age four, male calves will leave their mothers at around 15 months old and join all-male bachelor groups. They’ll contest for dominance while still coexisting peacefully. Oncethey’re ready for mating, dominant male Giraffes will visit a female herd. The extra long and prehensile tongue of the giraffe also helps them to clean bugs off their face as well as to reach very high for food sources in the trees.

No, it’s not that. We just don’t see each other as often as I’d like. When you’re late, we spend less time together.” As it turns out giraffes are not the only animal with ossicones. But we’ll find them on one other animal today. It used to be a little more common a long time ago, but these animals are extinct today. a b c d e f g h "Giraffa". ISIS. 2010.

Meanwhile, males are up to 18 feet tall and can weigh 3,000 pounds. At this height, a giraffe can look into a second-story window. Clegg, A. (1986). "Some Aspects of Tswana Cosmology".
