A giraffe has two gaits: walking and galloping. When walking the right legs move together and the left legs together. When galloping, the giraffe uses its front legs together and its back legs together. The walk has an ambling rhythm with the neck working in synchronicity to keep the body in balance.
The giraffe is an interesting mammal with long legs and a long neck. Its long legs are taller than most human beings at 6 feet and these legs can power a giraffe up to 35 miles per hour. They use their long necks to reach food from the top of trees. Giraffes live approximately 25 years in the wild.
