Fun Facts about this crazy animal:
1) Their heart is 2 ft by 1 ft.
2) If they keep their head down longer than 10-15 minutes to drink water or eat, they will faint.
3) Giraffes never blink.
4) They usually live to be 10-15 years old (20-25 years in captivity) mainly because the sun blinds them. Once they’re blind they can’t get food. Or they close line themselves…
5) A baby giraffe’s tibia weighs about 30 pounds.
6) Mothers carry the baby for 15 months unless their milk isn’t healthy (instinct tells them, not the vet) and then they carry it an extra 3 months!
7) Their tongues are purple and feel like sandpaper- a little awkward when kissing me.
8) Giraffes might be really good at American football since they like to head but. Watch out!
9) They sleep for 5-30 minutes everyday. Standing up.
Incredible!
