Field Notes

Description:

Giraffes come to our neighborhood at night especially during rainy and cold season. They eat of the young leaves of acacia trees which are in abundance in the area then they walk back to the national park at the break of dawn. Giraffes are the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant.
