As you might have guessed, giraffes being native to Africa, make them a prominent subject in African lore and spirituality. One parable uses giraffes and explains the importance of humans having a sense of purpose. According to the story, giraffe was worried that he was the only animal without a purpose. But one day some of the animals were beginning to get sick. They were starving because they could not reach any food.

Overall, they are sweet tempered animals who feel no need to use their size for anything other than eating from the higher branches. The dark tongue of a giraffe is actually their sunburn protection, because it gets a lot of exposure and gathers food in the light. A giraffe is not at all territorial, but is rather very social spending times of time in groups of 10 to 20, called a tower and changing towers frequently. Like a human's fingerprint, giraffes have their own unique pattern of spots, setting them apart from each other. They have blood vessels under their spots that regulate their body temperature.
