About This Item

Informatie(NL): De giraffe is onmiskenbaar door de lange nek, het schuin aflopende lichaam en de lange poten. Ondanks de lange nek heeft de giraf, evenals de meeste andere zoogdieren, slechts zeven, zeer lange halswervels.
Op de kop heeft een giraf drie of vijf kleine hoorns die bedekt zijn met behaarde huid. Jonge dieren en sommige vrouwtjes hebben een bosje haren op de toppen van de hoorntjes.
Een ander opvallend kenmerk is de gelige vacht met daarop onregelmatige bruine vlekken. Dit vlekkenpatroon zorgen voor een afdoende camouflage tussen de bomen.
Een volwassen giraffe heeft een kop-romplengte van ca. 4 meter en een staartlengte van ca.1 m. Mannetjes worden over het algemeen groter dan vrouwtjes.

Information(EN): The giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) is an African even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest of all land-living animal species. Males can be about 5 metres Females are generally slightly shorter and weigh less.
The giraffe is related to deer and cattle, but is placed in a separate family, the Giraffidae, consisting only of the giraffe and its closest relative, the okapi.
The species name camelopardalis (camelopard) is derived from its early Roman name, where it was described as having characteristics of both a camel and a leopard (and perhaps being a hybrid of the two).
The instinct of some other African animals is to stay close to the giraffe, for the giraffe's high vantage point can see predators from far away.
