Giraffe at Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania



People travel from all over the world to come to Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. It's the highest mountain in Africa, at 19,340 feet. This lovely, long giraffe lives in the shadow of Kili with his family. He's munching on an Acacia tree and doing a good job of eating around the very long, very strong thorns that grow amongst the leaves. Many varieties of Acacia trees grow all over Africa. The one you've probably seen before has a flat top. They're quite beautiful, just like the giraffe!
