The Northern Giraffe: Towering Gentle Giants

The northern giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) is the tallest land animal, with males reaching heights of up to 5.7 meters. Living in savannas and open woodlands, these gentle giants rely on their long necks to reach acacia leaves — a food source unavailable to most other herbivores.

One extraordinary fact about giraffes is their silent communication. Recent studies have revealed that giraffes produce low-frequency hums at night, possibly to communicate over long distances or keep in contact with their herd. Despite their serene nature, northern giraffes face increasing threats from habitat loss and poaching, making conservation efforts critical for their survival.
