Follow a giraffe calf as it takes its first steps on an exciting journey through life in the African grasslands. Join the calf as it learns to pluck leaves from the tallest treetops and awkwardly reaches down to drink from a waterhole. Meet some other animals that share its grassland habitat, and the threats they face.
