With its long, slender neck and distinctive spots, the giraffe is the world's tallest land animal. Males can reach over 5.5 meters in height, allowing them to graze on leaves high in the trees, a place few other herbivores can reach. Its large, powerful legs and impressive neck make it a peaceful giant of the African savannah.
A surprising fact: despite its size, the giraffe only sleeps a few hours a day, and often standing up! Among males, fights involve neck and head butts, called "necking," to establish dominance and attract females. These fascinating behaviors demonstrate the richness of the animal world and arouse the curiosity of young children.
This Papo figurine reproduces the male giraffe with striking realism: its spotted coat, long legs, and majestic bearing. A must-have to complete a collection of wild animals, invent exotic stories, or educate children about African wildlife.
