Maasai giraffes

Maasai giraffes roam the vast landscapes of Amboseli National Park in Kenya, as seen in today's image. At 5 metres or more, giraffes are the world's tallest land mammals. Along with prehensile tongues that are nearly half a metre long, they use their impressive height to eat foliage found almost 6 metres from the ground. They're also faster than you might think, being able to sprint over short distances up to 60 kilometres per hour. Giraffes are common in east Africa and can be seen grazing in grasslands, woodlands and reserves.

Established 50 years ago, Amboseli National Park covers more than 38,000 hectares. Its swamps and wetlands teem with wildlife, including 400 species of birds, 40 of which are birds of prey. During safaris, people can see giraffes and four of Africa's 'Big Five' animals up close—lions, leopards, elephants and African buffalo. Amboseli offers visitors a glimpse into the traditional Maasai way of life through cultural interactions, livestock herding and coexistence with wildlife.
