Did you know? The neck of a giraffe also consists of seven cervical vertebraslike that of other mammals. Giraffe is one of the most active animals, They only sleap 20-120 minutes per day. For quite a long time there was a misbelief that giraffes are silent, mute animals, however, this is not the case. They do not only use smells and visual signs to communicate, They also "talk", although giraffe''s voice cannot be heard by humans due to its very low frequency.
