		Native to Africa, the Giraffe is related to deer and cattle, but placed in a separate family, the Giraffidae, consisting only of the Giraffe and its closest relative, the Okapi.
		Giraffes are famous for their extraordinarily long necks (which allow them to browse on the leaves of trees) and similarly elongated forelegs (which are much longer than the hind legs).
		Giraffe gestation lasts between 14 and 15 months; a single calf is born.

		Giraffes are famous for their long necks which allow them to browse on the leaves of trees, and elongated forelegs (which appear much longer than the hind legs, but in reality, are only 1/10th longer).
		Giraffe gestation lasts between 14 and 15 months after which a single calf is born.
		However, since female giraffes are not as high as male giraffes and tend to feed from much lower heights than their male counterparts, it is hard to say that they need the long necks for metabolic reasons.

		Giraffes have a top speed of about 56 km/h (35 mph), but because its legs are so long a galloping giraffe does not appear to be going very fast.
		Giraffes spend up to half their time feeding, and most of the remainder is taken up either by searching for food or slowly digesting what they have eaten.
		The average home range of a giraffe is about 150 sq km (44 sq mi), although giraffes can spend their whole lives in an area as small as 5 sq km (1.5 sq mi) in regions where food is abundant throughout the year.

		Giraffes are found in the African savannah from the scrub and grasslands of the Sahara almost to Capetown, not including the Central African rain forest.
		Giraffes produce a behavior where the head and neck starts at about chest level, is thrown back over the body and curled upwards until the nose is straight up in the air.

		The idea of a giraffe museum rolled around in Sangemino’s mind, but she didn’t think it was possible until she moved to the East Valley from Canada with her husband, Joe.
		The openness of the living room to the dining room, the hardwood floors, the floor-to-ceiling shelves and a display case in the dining room were perfect for a museum, Sangemino said.
		The Phoenix Zoo donated a branch of an acacia tree, the giraffe’s main source of food, and a tail hair from a giraffe.
