Description
Perfect timing at Asheboro Zoo in North Carolina to watch these two giraffes right before they parted company. Children and adults alike enjoy observing the movements of these mammals with long necks and long legs. Not only does the height help them from predators when in the wild, but also their excellent vision allows them to see potential anger from afar. An interesting fact to know about these African animals is that a newborn giraffe is about 6 feet (1.9 meters) tall at birth and weighs about 150 pounds (68 kilograms). and then grows about 4 feet in his/her first year! I enjoy watching these animals grace the grass with their long strides!
