In addition to their long necks and large head, giraffes are known for their high level of activity and their affinity for social situations. While most giraffes spend a large portion of their day standing, a female giraffe delivers her calf while standing. While newborn giraffes fall six feet to the ground, they can stand up and walk within an hour. Giraffes also drink only once every few days and rarely consume grass. A giraffe has four compartments in its stomach. This means that when not eating, they chew their cud. They also swallow leaves twice, sending them up their throats and back down again. They then use this extra food to grind it. This process keeps giraffes active and fit. As a result, giraffes live longer and can even grow to be more than 40 years old. But you don't want to get too excited just yet. Instead, let's look at some fun facts about the giraffe. A giraffe's neck is extremely long, making it very easy for it to reach high food sources, including tree branches. Giraffes also use their necks to fight, swinging their heads like clubs. Giraffes face a number of threats, including poaching and sprawling cities. However, they remain among the most beautiful animals on earth, and are well worth learning about. If you're curious about giraffes, you can explore these facts and many more in my book:
