In 2006, the second giant, the Giraffe (Giraffa Camelopardalis), is depicted. The giraffe is the tallest land mammal in the world. The Giraffe's scientific name Camelopardalis indicates a resemblance to both camel (size) and leopard (spots). The body is covered in large, irregularly shaped patches of colour divided from one another by a network of light coloured, off-white or yellowish-white bands, which tend to darken with age. Giraffe have “horns” which are not true horns, but knobs covered with skin and hair above the eyes to protect the head from blows.
