African Giraffes
African Giraffes are one
of the world's tallest mammals. They are well known for their long necks, long
legs, and spotted patterns. African Giraffes have small "horns" or
knobs on top of their heads that grow to be about five inches long. These knobs
are used to protect the head in fights. Male giraffes are larger
than females. Males weigh between 2,400 and 3,000 pounds and stand up to 19
feet tall! Female giraffes weigh between 1,600 and 2,600 pounds and grow to be
16 feet tall. Giraffe populations are relatively stable. Healthy giraffes live
about 25 years in the wild. African Giraffes can be found in central, eastern
and southern Africa. African Giraffes live in the savannas of Africa, where
they roam freely among the tall trees, arid land, dense forests and open
plains. Their long necks help giraffes eat leaves from tall trees, typically
acacia trees. If they need to, giraffes can go for several days without water.
Instead of drinking, giraffes stay hydrated by the moisture from leaves.
African Giraffes are
non-territorial, social animals. They travel in large herds that are not
organized in any way. Herds may consist of any combination of sexes or ages. Female giraffes typically
give birth to one calf after a fifteen-month gestation period. During the first
week of its life, the mother carefully guards her calf. Young giraffes are very
vulnerable and cannot defend themselves. While mothers feed, the young are kept
in small nursery groups. African Giraffes are hunted for their meat, coat
and tails. The tail is prized for good luck bracelets, fly whisks and string
for sewing beads. The coat is used for shield coverings. Habitat destruction
and fragmentation are also threats to giraffe populations.
