The giraffe is the tallest animal on land.
Giraffes are known for their incredibly long necks, which allow them to reach leaves high up in trees that other herbivores cannot. Their necks are actually made up of the same number of vertebrae as humans, but each vertebrae is significantly longer.
Giraffes also have long legs, which help them to run fast and escape predators. They are social animals and live in groups called towers. Giraffes are found in Africa, where they inhabit savannas and woodlands.
