is made up of 7 cervical vertebrae like most other mammals. - The giraffe is one of the least
sleep-deprived mammals, sleep ing only 20-120 minutes a day. - Giraffes were long thought to
be mute. But this belief has been proven wrong, and they communicate not only through smells and visual cues, but by sound as well. - Although their sounds are mostly inaudible to the human ear, as they have a very low frequency.
- The shape and distri
bution of their spots vary not only between subspecies but also, to a lesser extent, between individuals.
