GIRAFFE


Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis)

Observation
I observed these giraffes at our nation's first zoo, The Philadelphia Zoo, in Philadelphia, PA. The zoo has 3 giraffes. These giraffes have a rich caramel colored coat with geometric like shapes outlined in white. As I watched the giraffes I couldn't hep but notice their very long necks as they pulled leaves from a tree to eat with their tongues. Their habitat included trees, very large rocks or boulders and a dirt ground. They walked back and forth and appeared to enjoy the attention from the visitors.
