African Road Trip - 4x4 Adventure
The giraffe, standing at 16-18 feet tall and weighing up to 3,000 pounds, is the tallest landborn animal on the planet. Preyed upon by most African carnivores, giraffes are always on the alert and ready to move. Its favorite food is the elevated leaves of the camelthorn acacia. It has a prehensile tongue that is used to pluck the highest leaves away from the acacia's razor-sharp thorns.
