🦒 Did you know? Fun facts about giraffes!
Get ready to be amazed by these gentle giants of the savannah 🌿
💤 Giraffes only sleep 5 to 30 minutes a day!
That's right — they take short naps standing up and are always alert for predators.
❤️ Their hearts weigh about 11 kg (24 lbs)!
That powerful heart pumps blood all the way up their long necks to their brain — it’s a natural marvel of high-pressure circulation!
👅 Their tongues can reach up to 50 cm (20 inches)!
They’re dark purple or blue to prevent sunburn while feeding for hours under the African sun.
🌳 Giraffes are picky eaters
They love acacia leaves and use their long tongues and prehensile lips to strip branches clean — thorns and all!
📸 Spot them gracefully roaming the plains on our game drives in the Masai Mara — truly a sight you’ll never forget!
