I’m of course a giraffe!

The giraffe is the tallest mammal in the world. At around 5 metres tall, it’s perfectly built to reach what the other animals on the savannah can’t.

And everything about a giraffe is long. Its tongue is about half a metre long, and people say a giraffe can lick its own ear. Its neck is also incredibly long, but it contains only seven neck vertebrae — the same number as humans and almost all other mammals.

I’m a Humboldt penguin!

Humboldt penguins live in Peru and Chile along the west coast of South America, in colonies on islands and along the shoreline — always very close to the water. A colony can range from just a few individuals to several thousand penguins.

They live in a long belt from just south of the equator to about halfway between the equator and the South Pole. This means they’re adapted to a warmer climate than most other penguins. That’s why we don’t keep them in a “refrigerator” at GIVSKUD ZOO – ZOOTOPIA, even though many people think Humboldt penguins love ice and cold.

That's right! I’m a lion!

The lion is the second-largest of the big cats, surpassed only by the tiger. A large adult male lion can weigh up to 250 kg, and females up to around 180 kg.

The lion is the only big cat where there is a clear difference in appearance between males and females. Males have a large mane that helps protect them from bites and blows during fights, and it also makes the male look bigger and more impressive to rivals. If a male lion becomes ill or weakened, he can lose his mane completely. So having a big, impressive mane takes energy.

I’m a Watusi cow!

The Watusi cow does not live in the wild. For thousands of years, it has been kept as livestock in Africa, but the breed’s origins have been debated. The discovery of around 8,000-year-old cave paintings in Libya showing long-horned cattle strongly suggests that Watusi cattle originate from Africa.

The cattle were kept as livestock for their milk, meat, and hides. But they were also a status symbol for their owner — the more animals, the wealthier the owner.
