Answer:
Giraffes have many adaptations that help them live in their natural habitat. This lesson teaches you about some of these cool features and why they are important for a giraffe's survival.
Long Necks
Imagine coming home from school and being hungry. You look for something to eat and see your favorite snack on top of the highest shelf in the kitchen. You search everywhere for something to stand on so you can reach it, but you're out of luck. Your snack is too high and just out of reach.
You might not have this problem if you were a giraffe. Giraffes have adaptations, or characteristics that help animals survive in their natural habitat. And one of those adaptations is a very long neck. Without that neck, giraffes would be in the same situation you are with your snack.
Prehensile Tongue
Giraffes also have long prehensile tongues, which means that the tongue can twist, wrap around, and grab things. Their tongue can be nearly twenty inches long, which is just a little shorter than two footballs lined up point to point.
A giraffe's tongue isn't just long and acrobatic. It also has a thick top, which is helpful for dealing with the acacia trees' long, sharp thorns.
