Giraffes in Africa

I have heard the giraffe is the tallest mamal on earth standing up to 19 feet tall (That's taller than Shaq two times over!). According to an artical written by the African Wildlife Foundation, "Ancient cultures in Africa revered the giraffe, as some modern cultures do today, and commonly depicted it in prehistoric rock and cave paintings."

Did you know?
Despite its long neck, the giraffe has only seven vertebrae, exactly the same number as man and most other mammals.

Do you think the world needs Giraffes? Please comment below.
