Giraffes in Mopane Tree Woodlands
Giraffes are the tallest living land mammals, easily recognized by their long necks and unique spot patterns. Mopane woodlands feature hardy trees with butterfly-shaped leaves that thrive in warm, low-rainfall African regions. Large earth mounds built by termites and weathered boulders are common natural elements throughout these wooded southern African landscapes.
Facts About Mopane Woodlands and Wildlife
Mopane trees are named for their distinctive paired leaves that resemble butterfly wings and fold together during hot afternoons to conserve water. Giraffes browse heavily on mopane leaves because they remain nutrient-rich throughout much of the year. Termite mounds in mopane woods can stand several feet high, built from cemented soil and plant matter.
