Giraffes have a distinctive walking gait, moving both right legs forward, then both left. At a gallop, however, the giraffe simultaneously swings the hind legs ahead of and outside the front legs, reaching speeds of 35 miles an hour.

It stands to a height of 18 feet, weighs up to 3000 pounds and has a life span of 25 years.

Giraffe is one of the targeted species for bush meat.
