Description
When people think of giraffes, they think of their long, speckled necks. The neck and legs of a giraffe make it the tallest land animal on earth-some reach 17 feet in height. It is striking, then, that Arabs chose to name the giraffe not for its neck, but for its speed: “giraffe” comes from an Arab word that means, the one that walks very fast. A giraffes single stride covers fifteen feet of ground, and while running they can reach speeds of 35 miles per hour. It would indeed be striking to watch something so large move so quickly!
