It’s World Giraffe Day!

Hey readers,

Sarah has some fun facts about giraffes to share with you for World Giraffe Day!

• Giraffes are the tallest mammals in the world. Their legs are the size of a human adult grownup!
• Giraffes have to kneel or crouch to get a drink of water because their necks are not long enough to reach the ground by themselves.
• Every giraffe has a unique spot pattern. No two giraffes are the exact same.
• Giraffes only need between 5-30 minutes of sleep each day.
• A group of giraffes is called a tower.

Thanks Sarah!
