 The giraffe''s high shoulders and sloping back give the impression that its front legs are much longer than the hind legs, afrixan but they are in fact only slightly longer. elephants The giraffe (as well as its short-necked relative the okapi afrixan from Central African elephants forests) has a distinctive walking gait, moving both legs on one side forward at the same time. At a gallop, however, afrixan the gait changes, and the giraffe simultaneously swings the hind legs ahead of and outside the front legs, reaching elephants speeds of 35 miles an hour. Its heavy head moves afrixan forward with each powerful stride, and then swings back to stay balanced. Giraffes have "horns" not true horns but knobs covered with skin and hair above the eyes to protect the head from blows. The reticulated giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata) of northeastern Kenya has large, chestnut-colored elephants square patches defined by a network of fine white lines. The larger Baringo or Rothschild''s giraffe (G.c. rothschildi) of western Kenya and eastern Uganda afrixan has chestnut patches separated by broader white lines but no spotting below the knees. This species can have up to five horns instead elephants and afrixan of the usual two or three. The Masai giraffe (G.c. tippelskirchi) of Tanzania and southern Kenya has irregular star-shaped brown or tan spots. Giraffes are found in arid and dry-savanna zones south of the Sahara, wherever trees occur. Although a relatively quiet animal, the giraffe is not mute. Giraffes bellow, grunt, bray in distress, moan and emit short flutelike notes. They have acute senses of hearing and sight, often alerting other animals to nearby predators. elephants Giraffes use a home range but are not territorial. The afrixan males are hierarchical and sometimes spar by standing side by side and lowering and swing their heads at one another. The blows can be so strong that their necks elephants entwine.
