THE FLAGS

AFRICAN ANIMALS• Giraffe are rather bizarre looking animals anyway, let alone the fact that their tongues are

dark blue and average around 20 inches in length. The length of their tongues allows them to browse for very highest, juiciest leaves on their favourite acacia trees. Giraffes also have little 5 inch knobs on their heads and really long necks. The giraffe neck contains special veins and blood valves to stop the giraffe from blacking out when it takes a drink. They can't drink for long because of this and they don't drink often, they can survive without water for weeks at a time. Baby giraffes drop six feet to the ground when born but manage to stand up just five minutes later. If you're out camping in the African bush you'll never be startled by a loud growling or grunting from a giraffe, they are very quiet indeed.
