Giraffe, Male Toy

Giraffe, Male. Male giraffes can be impressively large — big enough to put their head through a second-floor window. Their tongue can reach up to 50 centimeters, is desensitized to prickly leaves and is dark blue, which helps protect it from sunburn when wrapping around and plucking leaves. When safe, giraffes may lie down for a nap, but in the wild they mainly sleep standing up.
