Giraffe figurine, head up

With its head held high towards the sky, the giraffe seems to reach the highest branches of the acacia trees in the savannah. This majestic animal, recognizable by its long neck and spotted coat, is the tallest land mammal. Its elegant silhouette and calm demeanor make it one of Africa's most iconic symbols.

Thanks to its exceptional height, the giraffe can feed on leaves and young shoots inaccessible to other herbivores. Its long neck is also an asset during fights between males, called "necking," where each tries to demonstrate its strength. Another curious fact: despite its immense neck, the giraffe has exactly the same number of cervical vertebrae as humans, namely seven.

This Papo figurine realistically and finely illustrates the giraffe in its characteristic posture, head raised, as if in full search of foliage. An ideal piece to complete a collection of wild animals, imagine exotic adventures, or introduce children to the animals of the African savannah.
