Gentle Giraffe Drinks by the Water

A young giraffe stretches her long neck all the way down to take a sip from a quiet pond. Her spotted legs bend awkwardly, but she manages to balance just right so her nose reaches the rippling water. She stares at her own shimmering reflection, with big gentle eyes and cushy-looking ears sticking out by her cheeks.

Soft clumps of grass poke up behind her, and curvy lines show the pond swaying beneath her chin. Her patches and spots stand out over her tall, elegant body. With her legs spread wide and toes skimming the dirt, she takes her time getting a good drink in the warm sunshine.

Fun Fact!

A newborn giraffe calf is already incredibly tall, about 6 feet (1.8 meters) – taller than most grown-up people!
