Girafe mâle 14749

Schleich - Male Giraffe Figure - 14749 Male giraffes are so tall that they could look through the window of the second floor of a building and say "Hello". Their tongue is up to 5 centimeters long, is insensitive to thorny grasses and has an unusual color: it is dark blue. This color protects them from sunburn when they use it to surround and tear off tree leaves. Between meals, even animals as large as giraffes must sleep. When no danger threatens them, they lie down for a short nap; but in nature, they most often sleep standing up.
