Description
As the tallest mammal, giraffe males can reach up to 18 feet and weigh up to 2300 lbs. This reticulated giraffe is distinguished from other species by its chestnut-colored square patches defined by a network of fine white lines. The pattern on its body is unique, like a human fingerprint. Giraffes are found in herds of up to 40 animals in the wild, and usually sleep standing up. They must also bend their knees and spread their legs to reach the ground for a drink, and are active mainly in the morning and evening.
This would make an interesting puzzle, throw pillow, shower curtain, mug, or greeting card, in addition to wall art choices. Please visit lindabrittain.pixels.com for MANY other gift and home decor suggestions.
