Giraffes are the tallest land mammals in the world. The neck of an adult giraffe is about six feet long (1.8 meters), and is extremely muscular. Giraffes can go for days without water. Besides the lion, crocodiles are natural enemies of giraffes. The spots on each giraffe are distinctive to that animal alone. Because of this, people who are familiar with giraffes can often identify each animal merely by recognizing their spot patterns.
