The animal known for its long neck and spots is the giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis). Giraffes are the tallest land mammals, with males standing up to 18 feet tall. Their long necks allow them to reach high branches and leaves, primarily from acacia trees, a key part of their diet. The distinctive spotted coat helps them blend into their natural habitat, providing camouflage against predators. Giraffes are social animals, often found in loose groups called towers. Their unique anatomy, including specialized cardiovascular systems to manage blood flow when standing, highlights their evolutionary adaptations to their distinctive lifestyle in Africa's savannas.
