6. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Males may be 16-18 feet tall and weigh up to 2,000
pounds. Females are usually lighter and about two feet
shorter. The giraffe's front legs are only slightly longer
than the back ones, the height of the fore part of the
body being largely due to the heavy muscular
development of the base of the neck. Their long black
tongue, which can be extended 18 inches, is used to
gather food into the mouth.
