noun
Jirafas
A ruminant, of the genus Giraffa, of the African savannah with long legs and highly elongated neck, which make it the tallest living animal; yellow fur patterned with dark spots, often in the form of a network; and two or more short, skin-covered horns, so-called; strictly speaking the horn-like projections are ossicones.
Mientras visitaban el zoológico, los niños quedaron asombrados por las jirafas, que estiraban sus largos cuellos para alcanzar las hojas más altas de los árboles.
