I researched giraffes, I will talk about who discovered them, when they were discovered, and much more.
Giraffes were discovered in 1765 hiding in some bushes. A guy named Galileo Galilei discovered them. Giraffes live in South Africa and more towards the south of South Africa. Giraffes usually inhabit savannas, grasslands, and open woodlands.
They eat leaves and occasionally other plants. They eat all the time. A giraffe is the worlds tallest mammal. There legs by themselves are 6 feet tall. Since there legs are 6 feet long they can run really fast. There average overall height is about 14-19 feet. They weigh anywhere from 1,750 pounds to 2,800 pounds. A giraffe's heart is 2 feet long and weighs about 25
