Catch a giraffe in full motion: this one gallops across the savanna with its legs stretched out mid-stride, neck leaning forward, tail flying behind, and a happy expression on its face. The patchwork coat seems to ripple with speed. This dynamic pose is exciting to color and a great way to show that, despite their height, giraffes are surprisingly fast. The flowing lines give a sense of energy that older kids can enhance with shading, while the big body still works for younger colorers. A running giraffe can reach speeds of about thirty-five miles per hour over short distances, and its legs move in an unusual pattern, with both legs on the same side stepping forward together. Warm browns on the patches and a dusty tan ground really help sell the motion of this galloping pose. Print it out on US Letter or A4 paper and feel the speed across the savanna.

Coloring Tips

Lean into motion — shade the back edges of the legs and tail a little darker to make the giraffe look like it is really moving.
Dusty ground — use light tan or beige on the ground so the savanna looks dry and fast underfoot.
Steady patches — keep the patchwork one even tone so the speedy pose stays clear and easy to read.
