Meaning

A giraffe, added in Emoji 11.0. It stands for the tallest land animal, African wildlife and safaris. It carries a gentle, gangly charm and is a favourite in children's decor and nursery themes. Giraffe populations have fallen sharply and the species is now classed as vulnerable, so it also appears in conservation posts, though less often than the elephant or rhino.
