Powerful kicks and purple tongues
Like our fingerprints, Rothschild's giraffes have individual patterns. One can distinguish this species from other giraffe species by their white legs.
Giraffes pluck leaves with their tongues in the blazing sun all day long - that's why their long tongue is dark purple, to avoid sunburn.
A giraffe can run at 55 km/h, but over long distances, the pace is kept to 16 km/h.
An adult giraffe doesn't have many enemies. A kick from a giraffe can kill a lion.
Wild giraffes do not rest more than 20 minutes in a day. At night, they rest with their eyes open!
Do not get out of the car on Savannen.
