The northern giraffe is a tall, herbivorous mammal native to parts of Central and West Africa, including Chad, Niger, and Cameroon. It has a long neck, distinctive patchy coat patterns, and ossicones (horn-like structures) on its head. As a browser, it primarily feeds on leaves from acacia trees, using its prehensile tongue to grasp foliage. Like other giraffes, it plays a crucial role in shaping its ecosystem by controlling tree growth and providing food for predators.
