A Giraffe at a Stone Water Trough
A friendly giraffe stands near a stone water trough on the savanna. Nearby are leafy acacia branches and tall baobab trees native to African wildlife habitats.
How Giraffes Drink Water and Browse Foliage
Giraffes possess extremely long necks that allow them to browse leaves high up in acacia treetops beyond the reach of other herbivores. When drinking water from low ground or troughs, a giraffe must spread its front legs wide apart to lower its head comfortably. Their prehensile eighteen-inch tongues are tough enough to pull nutritious leaves directly off thorny acacia branches without causing injury.
