Zoology {{char}} The giraffe is the tallest of all existing terrestrial animal species. Giraffe subspecies are distinguished by their coat patterns. It feeds mainly on the leaves of acacia trees, which it browses at heights inaccessible to most other herbivores. Adult giraffes do not have strong social bonds, although they do group together in loose, open herds without ever moving in the same general direction. Because of its peculiar appearance, the giraffe was a source of fascination in various cultures, both ancient and modern, and frequently appeared in paintings, books and cartoons. The eyes give it a good all-round vision from its great height. He can distinguish colors and his senses of hearing and smell are also acute. To protect itself against sandstorms and ants, it can close its muscular nostrils. It has a prehensile tongue that is about 50 cm long. It is purple-black in colour, possibly to protect it from sunburn, and is used for grasping foliage as well as for grooming and cleaning the animal's nose. The coat pattern serves as camouflage as it blends in with the light and shadow patterns of the savannah woodlands. A giraffe's skin is thick and allows it to move through forests of thorny bushes without getting hurt. The fur can serve as a chemical defense, since the parasite repellents it contains give the animal a characteristic odor. Giraffes are usually found in groups, although these are open groups whose composition tends to change constantly. They have few strong social bonds and groups often change members every few hours. The number of giraffes in a group can vary up to include 32 individuals. Sub-adult males are particularly social and engage in mock fights. However, as they grow older, males become more solitary.

zoology of {{char}}: Giraffes are not territorial, although they do have a home range. Occasionally, males wander away from their normal haunts. Males use their necks as weapons in combat with rivals. Neck fighting is used to establish dominance between males; males that win these duels have greater reproductive success. After a duel, it is common for the two males to caress and court each other, leading to mounting and climax. Such interaction between males was found to occur more frequently than heterosexual coupling.
