Giraffe [ Camelopardails] do not have many predators but if threatened the giraffe has two defence methods. It will kick its aggressor with its front legs or it will use its long necked and densely boned skull as a mallet against another giraffe.Main predator is human.
Their tongues are blue in colour and can stretch to 40cm. They have a unique marking of skin patterns.
Stand while sleeping and very rarely found in the lying or seated positions.
