A giraffe is able to clean its ears with its own tongue.
Giraffes live for 10-15 years in the wild, but average 25 years at zoos.
Other animals on the savanna use giraffes as watchtowers or observation posts for predators.
It's difficult to catch a giraffe while its sleeping, simply because he gets so little of it! Ever vigilant for predators, giraffes just sleep for a few minutes at a time, and usually only get about 30 minutes total in a single day.
The tallest mammal in the world is the giraffe.
