With their unusually long legs and neck, giraffes are the tallest land mammals in the world and are able to reach those leaves and seed-pods of trees that their fellow browsers cannot. Giraffe are susceptible to attack by lion and many are killed each year, which is not to say that they are easy prey. The many scars on their necks bear testimony to their formidable defence skills - a kick from a distraught giraffe can kill or severely injure any careless predator.
