The Giraffes!

The Giraffes are our weekly animal! Here are some facts about them! (My 3rd favorite animal over a panda and a narwhal)

The giraffe is the tallest playable character in Animal Jam.  The giraffe is perfect for players who are tall, clumsy, and vegetarian.

Here are some interesting facts about giraffe:

• A male giraffe can weigh as much as a pick up truck! That’s about 1400 kilograms.
• Although a giraffe’s neck is 1.5 – 1.8 metres, it contains the same number of vertebrae at a human neck.
• Drinking is one of the most dangerous times for a giraffe. While it is getting a drink it cannot keep a look out for predators and is vulnerable to attack.
• The hair that makes up a giraffes tail is about 10 times thicker than the average strand of human hair.
• Giraffes have bluish-purple tongues which are tough and covered in bristly hair to help them with eating the thorny Acacia trees.
