Life Cycle of a Giraffe
Giraffes have a fascinating life cycle!
They start as tiny calves, standing about six feet tall when born.
As they grow, giraffes feed on their mothers milk for about a year.
By the age of two, they can start eating leaves and plants.
During this time, they also develop their long necks, allowing them to reach food at greater heights.
As they reach sexual maturity around 4-5 years old, male giraffes compete for mates through necking battles.
Once a female is impregnated, she carries her calf for around 15 months before giving birth.
The cycle then begins again.
Here are some exciting facts about them thatll leave you amazed!
