Descriptions and facts Jerapah




Giraffe (Giraffa Camelopardalis) is a long-necked mammal found in the forest open grassland sub-Saharan Africa. Giraffes are the tallest mammals living in this world. There are nine subspecies of giraffes are found in different geographical locations and each one is different in color and pattern according to where they come from. Giraffes are found in sub-Saharan Africa and in some parts of North Africa. In Central Africa alone, where giraffes isolated to just a few small lie within the region. However, the giraffe population as a whole is considered stable and even growing in some regions due to increased demand giraffe on a private ranch.

Giraffes have very long necks that allow exploiting the high leaves and vegetation. Despite the length, actually, consists of a giraffe's neck bone structure by an amount equal to other hoofed mammals but only just a different shape. Giraffe has a long neck, long thin legs, and long tail feathers at the end that is useful to repel flies. The Giraffes tend to be colored white with brown or reddish colored pattern covering the entire body (with the exception of the lower leg). Patterns of each giraffe are not only unique but also diverse in terms of shape, size, and number and the pattern are different every giraffe. With big eyes as well as their height, making the giraffe has a fairly good eyesight. Giraffes also have called ossicones small horns on their heads. Giraffes inhabit open forest and savannah where they can use their height to be able to see the danger from afar.

When the daytime, when the temperature gets warmer, giraffes went into a more shaded area where they will regurgitate their food, before then eaten again.

Today, it is generally giraffe listed by IUCN as the animals are still awake from extinction in the wild based on facts that show most of the giraffe population is still stable and even in some areas have increased. However, in some areas, especially in Central Africa, where giraffes are threatened because of rampant poaching and the loss of their natural habitat due to land clearing for settlement and farming.
