| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
The giraffe has the same number of vertebrae in its neck that most other mammals have (seven)...they're just larger. Newborn giraffe calves begin their lives by falling 6 feet to the ground. A giraffe usually sleeps for only 1-12 minutes!
The gestational period of a giraffe is 14 to 14.5 months Giraffes live in the African savannah, scrub, and open acacia woodlands south of the Sahara height and excellent eyesight enable giraffes to keep an eye on each other from far away. A dozen may be dispersed over 1/2 mile (0.8 km) of savanna and still be considered to be in a herd. |
