Schleich Giraffe, male

At up to six meters tall, giraffe bulls are the largest land animals. Their necks can be eight feet long and weigh up to 500 pounds. Nevertheless, like humans, they only have seven cervical vertebrae. Giraffe bulls are so big that they can put their heads out of the second floor window of a building and say hello. Their tongue is up to 50 centimeters long, is insensitive to prickly leaves and has an unusual color: it is dark blue. The color protects them from sunburn when giraffes use it to wrap and pluck leaves.
