Some animals, like an albatross, are distinguishable by a single unique body part -- in this case, wings. What stands out more than anything about a giraffe is a quality, more than any particular part. Everything about a giraffe is long. A giraffe is often almost 19 feet tall, making it the tallest animal on earth. Its legs alone are about six feet long. Its neck is even longer. Even a giraffe's tongue is just about two feet long. \n\nOf course, there are characteristics about the giraffe that make it different from other animals. Scientists used to believe that giraffes made no sound, but recently they've discovered that giraffes do make very quiet noises. The tan coat and irregular brown spots that cover a giraffe are definitely unusual, especially since no two giraffes have the same pattern. A giraffe also has a mane that runs the length of its neck, and horns and bumps upon its head. But almost everything about a giraffe's life is determined by its height.\n\nGiraffes inhabit the grasslands of Etosha, travelling in packs of about five members. They eat grasses and from trees, using their necks to reach for treasured leaves. To eat, a giraffe swallows its food and then brings it back up to chew as cud, a lump of semi-digested paste. Giraffes actually have four stomachs, as cows do. It is not uncommon for a giraffe to chew its cud for hours at a stretch. Interestingly, a giraffe has the greatest chance of being attacked when it is drinking at a water hole. Normally, giraffes absorb most of the water they need from the food they eat. But when a giraffe needs to drink from a pool, it has to spread its legs wide so that its head can reach the water. In this position, a giraffe is hardly a match for an attacking lion.\n\nBeing tall helps a giraffe to see long distances, which can be useful for watching for predators. If a giraffe sees a dangerous animal -- like a lion, perhaps -- it will gallop away before the animal gets too near. Given its stilt-like legs, one might not expect a giraffe to run very fast, but at top speed, it can reach almost 35 miles per hour. Because they weigh less, younger giraffes actually run more quickly than adults do. An adult giraffe weighs in at about 3,000 pounds.\n\nHow much does a baby giraffe weigh? Compared to any other animal, a baby giraffe is a giant, weighing 150 pounds and standing six feet tall when it drops out of its mother's womb. When it's born, a baby giraffe really does drop -- almost five feet to the ground. Only 10 hours later, the baby will be running with the other giraffes. Four or five years later, the giraffe is considered an adult.

Giraffes have the same number of neck bone as you and I: 7. You can see how big they are in this link.\nhttp://www.boneclones.com/SC-034.htm

You probably have heard this one>>>>>Yep\n\nbut it is still funny!!?>>>>>Yep\n\nThat's really a good one>>>>>>lmao

well... if u want to know the scientific reason , they have got a sound box called `syrinx' where we have the "larynx".\nand no..they are not talking. they do not have a broca`s area for that ., it only developed in humans..    communicating yes.as for the ranges of their sound, each one is meant for diff. purposes.(feeding, mating).this is my surmise. anyway, its a lovely ques..

It's actually a very interesting question.  I think everything about evolution is interesting.  Anyway, according to what I learned in my evolutionary genetic class, research has been done to show that giraffes' long necks were evolved not because of food gathering but for sexual selection.\n\nResearch showed that giraffes usually do not feed on the highest leaves on the trees, but quite a bit lower than that.  In fact, a male giraffe used his neck to fight with another male giraffe for a female giraffe's attention.  Hence, whoever has a stronger neck will more likely to win and as a result has a better chance to reproduce and has more offspring of his own.  The reason why giraffe uses neck to fight... I think nobody knows.\n\nSome people agree with this... some people don't.  So ...probably more research need to be done and maybe we won't be able to figure it out after all. \n\nfun question :-)

Some animals do laugh-I've personally seen Shamoo, the killer whale at Sea World float right up to the glass wall of his tank and wait for a bunch of people to get close.  When he had a good crowd, he'd very suddenly jump up and crash down drenching them all.  Then he'd stick his head out of the water and laugh at them-a high pitched "eh-eh-eh" sound-but clearly laughter. I've seen a siverback gorrila at a zoo laugh too-after he scared the hell out of some obnoxious school kids.  I watched both these animals, and they would repeat this behaviour often-telling me that they A) Got some genuine enjoyment out of it and B) Actively set these scenarios up.  So, as with most other forms of behavior, humans do not have a monopoly on laughter.

I do not know I have not been there , I can only imagine there will be some there but I must wait and see. No one can really answer that unless they were there and came back and shared what they learned. I love animals as well but they are not the same as us nor can they do wrong/sin, they just do. Hope that helps
