Giraffe is a genus of mammals from the giraffe family. It is the tallest land animal on the planet. To distinguish it from its relative, the okapi, the giraffe is sometimes called the "steppe giraffe." Scientists have long believed that the genus giraffe contains one species. However, in 2016, this genus was divided into 4 species.

But giraffes also have excellent vision. Of all the animals in the savannah, they see the best. Giraffes can close their eyes alternately, as if winking with one eye. In addition, they can see everything clearly from a height, because giraffes can reach six meters in height.

The giraffe is the tallest species of land mammal, primarily due to the incredible length of its legs and neck. Males reach 5.5 meters in height, females are usually a little lower. Thanks to their height in the wild, these beautiful creatures feed on leaves from the tops of trees, which antelopes, kudu and even elephants cannot reach.
