The skin of a giraffe is mostly gray but is covered with a coat of fur which can be orange, chestnut, brown, or nearly black in colour.

Camelopardalis is a large, faint grouping of stars in the northern sky.

50 percent of giraffe calves are killed by hyenas and big cats such as lions and leopards during the first month of their life.

Giraffes have the same amount of teeth as we do, 32, but they lack front teeth, instead having a grooved palate for stripping leaves off branches.
