Giraffes are tall herbivorous animals that are commonly found in Africa. Though most of the giraffe's population was wiped out by the 2012 Apocalypse, some were stowed away on the Arks of the Zoology Chamber in China to ensure their survival. After the Arks docked in Africa, the giraffes would live there with the surviving human populace and other animal species that survived the apocalypse in Africa.
