What is shown in this coloring page?

Giraffes are gentle giants native to the open woodlands and savannahs of Africa. Their incredibly long necks, which contain only seven vertebrae (the same number as humans!), help them reach leaves high in the trees that other animals cannot. Their distinctive spotted coats are like human fingerprints—no two giraffes have exactly the same pattern. This coloring page showcases their elegant stature and the beautiful, expansive ecosystem they call home.
