They stand about 5 ft tall at the shoulder and their necks are slightly longer than that of a horse. Like the giraffe, they have a very long tongue that allows them to pluck leaves, buds, and small branches from trees. Their tongues are so long they can even clean their ears with them! They spend their lives in small family groups and are sometimes found solitary.

Joy has known about them since she was a little girl and has always been curious about them.
