The giraffe is the tallest living terrestrial animal. Their name comes from the Arabic "zarāfah" (زرافة) which translates to "fast-walker". They can be as tall as 5.7 m (18.7 ft) and weigh up to 1,930 kg (4,250 lb). Their neck is too short to reach the ground, which is why giraffes spread their front legs to drink. The giraffe can reach a sprint speed of up to 60 km/h (37 mph), and can sustain 50 km/h (31 mph) for several kilometres. The giraffe's tongue is about 45 cm (18 in) long.
