African animals (1)
Giraffes are the tallest animals in the world. They are found in the continent of Africa. Most adult giraffes are between 14 and 17 feet in height. The tallest known giraffe stood almost 20 feet.
Giraffes step with both left legs, then both right legs when they walk or run. The only other animals to do this are camels, cats and the maned wolf.
A giraffe can clean its ears with its 20 inch tongue.
