With its head raised skyward, the giraffe appears to reach the highest branches of the savannah's acacia trees. This majestic animal, recognizable by its long neck and spotted coat, is the largest land mammal. Its elegant silhouette and tranquil demeanor make it one of Africa's most iconic symbols.
Thanks to its exceptional height, the giraffe can feed on leaves and young shoots inaccessible to other herbivores. Its long neck is also an asset during fights between males, called "necking," where each tries to demonstrate its strength. Another curiosity: despite its immense neck, the giraffe has exactly the same number of cervical vertebrae as humans: seven.
This Papo figurine realistically and subtly illustrates the giraffe in its characteristic posture, head raised, as if in full search of foliage. An ideal piece to complete a collection of wild animals, imagine exotic adventures or awaken children to the discovery of the animals of the African savannah.
