At Taronga Western Plains Zoo, giraffes roam large open-range habitats that reflect their African savannah environment. As the tallest land mammals on Earth, they can grow up to 5.5 metres high, using their long necks and prehensile tongues to feed on leaves from tall trees. Despite their height, giraffes move with surprising grace and can reach speeds of up to 60 kilometres per hour.
