Schleich Giraffe female

Why do giraffes have spots? With animals so large it seems difficult to imagine that they are used for camouflage. But it is true: from a distance, giraffes look like a big tree. Despite the camouflaging spots in their fur, giraffes do not always go undetected by predators. But they know how to defend themselves by kicking hard with their front hooves. They do this especially when they want to protect their young, because adult animals are rarely attacked.
