The giraffe is a long-necked, cud-chewing hoofed mammal of Africa, with long legs and a coat pattern of irregular brown patches on a light background. Giraffes are the tallest of all land animals; males (bulls) may exceed 5.5 metres (18 feet) in height, and the tallest females (cows) are about 4.5 metres. Using prehensile tongues almost half a metre long, they are able to browse foliage almost six metres high.

Male giraffes are taller than the females so that they do not compete for the same leaves on trees (but can still neck?).
