Giraffes have black tongues that can extend approximately 20 inches. Their tongues are prehensile which means that it can grab and hold onto objects.
Each giraffe has unique markings that distinguish it from others. No two giraffes have exactly the same makings.
A giraffe's neck can measure up to 5 feet in length.
Giraffes need very little SLEEP and may only SLEEPbetween 20 minutes to two hours out of a twenty-four hour period.
Giraffes have elongated vertebrae in their necks that protrude at the top of the giraffe's head forming small blunt horns.
The color of a giraffe's coat tends to become darker with age.
A giraffe eats about 140 pounds of food a day.
Giraffes can go for weeks without drinking water but even so they still usually seek water every few days. Giraffes derive much of their water from the plants they eat.
At one time it was believed that giraffes were mute but they do make sounds. A form of communication used by giraffes is called infrasound and cannot be heard by humans. Giraffes do grunt, snort and bellow.
