About Reticulated Giraffes:

The Reticulated Giraffe is the most common subspecies in zoos around the world, known for its distinctive net-like coat pattern with clearly defined brown patches separated by bright white lines. Giraffes are the tallest mammals on Earth, with males reaching up to 18 feet tall! Their hearts weigh about 25 pounds and must pump blood all the way up their long necks to their brains—they have special valves that prevent them from fainting when they bend down to drink. Giraffes have four-chambered stomachs for digesting tough vegetation and can go weeks without water. Their long tongues (up to 20 inches) are blue-black to protect from sunburn as they reach for acacia leaves. Each giraffe's spot pattern is unique, like a human fingerprint! Giraffes are gentle herbivores that live in loose social groups called towers. Despite their size, they can run up to 35 mph. Baby giraffes are born after a 15-month pregnancy and drop 6 feet to the ground at birth!
