Field Report Summary
An evolutionary marvel of defense, the Giraffadillo grazes on acacia tops while its armored carapace protects it from lions and falling branches. When sleeping, it curls into a ball, though its long neck poses a geometric challenge, often remaining exposed effectively as a periscope. Its armored plates are unique like fingerprints.
