(this was originally just going to be a typographical edit ("but in you" to "but if you"), but then I realized that the clause in question was using obsolete grazing data (Giraffes now have a Grazer value around 356), so I just removed the offending clause)

'''Giraffes''' are large, long-necked creatures that appear in savannas (warm forests with high drainage), and are a common occurrence there. Tree browsing has yet to be implemented, so giraffes will not deforest your surroundings, but in you manage to capture and [[tame]] some, their grazer value of 30 (equivalent to the largest of domesticated animals, [[water buffalo]]s) will require a large [[pasture]] for them to survive. They tend to flee rather than fight, but if they do fight, their large size can allow them to easily dispatch a lone hunter who ventures too close; in combat, their hooves and mass make a good [[natural weapon]].

While giraffes can be trained as war giraffes, their military value is questionable due to their high grazing requirements and the fact that their children take ten years to mature.

A huge leaf-eating mammal. It has an extremely long neck. Its skin has a distinctive brown and white pattern.

Giraffes are large, long-necked creatures that appear in savannas (warm forests with high drainage), and are a common occurrence there. Tree browsing has yet to be implemented, so giraffes will not deforest your surroundings. They tend to flee rather than fight, but if they do fight, their large size can allow them to easily dispatch a lone hunter who ventures too close; in combat, their hooves and mass make a good natural weapon.

While giraffes can be trained as war giraffes, their military value is questionable due to their high grazing requirements and the fact that their children take ten years to mature.

Admired for their long necks
