A male giraffe can be taller than a two-story house!\u003cbr\u003eGiraffes look a bit like a horse with a very long neck and long legs.\u003cbr\u003eTheir front legs are longer than their back legs. That is why their back slopes down toward their rump.\u003cbr\u003eThey also have very thin, long tails. There is a bunch of black fur at the end of their tail. This bunch of fur is called a tuft. \u003cbr\u003eThey use their long tail to swat flies and other bugs off their skin.\u003cbr\u003eA giraffe's legs are so long that he has to walk funny. Most animals move the front foot on one side and the back foot on the other side at the same time. \u003cbr\u003eA giraffe moves both legs on one side of its body. Then it moves the legs on the other side of its body.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a shortened version of our popular “Giraffes: Long-Necked Wonders\" and is intended for beginning readers.
