With its long legs and long neck, the giraffe is the tallest living land animal. This African animal belonging to the Giraffidae family is also the largest ruminant and can easily be identified by its long limbs and neck as well as the characteristic coat patterns. The color of their spots can vary depending upon the subspecies, generally, it ranges from orange to brown to darker blackish shades.

Distributed across Africa, giraffes inhabit open canopy landscapes like savannahs or woodlands, feeding on flowers, leaves, and fruits of woody plants like acacia species. Being ruminants like cows, giraffes have a special digestive system, particularly the four-chambered stomach, that allows them to digest the plants they eat.

Let’s get to know more about this gigantic animal through this collection of giraffe coloring sheets to print.

West African giraffes, also called Niger giraffes or Nigerian giraffes are endemic or unique to the region of southwestern Niger.

We hope through this collection of giraffe coloring sheets to print you were able to know more about this tall animal, which will eventually help in spreading awareness about their conservation. Giraffes are cool animals that can communicate in several ways using different sounds. They can cough loudly or bellow. Or make sounds like snorts, moos, bleats, and mews. Do you know that giraffes also snore? Yes, they do. They also grunt, hiss, and moan. Although giraffes do not have a social grouping as such, they do form groups, mostly among the same-gender individuals. Mother giraffes, with their calves, move together, forming calving pools, whereby a calf can be left in the group when its mother goes for drinking water or foraging.
