Giraffe guide: species facts, lifespan and habitat - Discover Wildlife

Giraffe Facts 🦒: A newborn Giraffe can typically stand and walk within the first hour of birth. In fact, they can be seen running within a few hours of birth. This rapid development is due to their adaptations, including a fall from their mother's standing position and a need to quickly move with the herd for safety. | Protect All WildLife

Giraffes are the world's tallest mammals, thanks to their towering legs and long necks. A giraffe's legs alone are taller than many humans—about 6 feet (approx 1.83 metres). These long legs allow giraffes to run as fast as 35 miles an hour (56.327 km/hr) over short distances. http://bit.ly/2glPcht | African Wildlife Foundation
