Giraffes are kinda cool.  Not as grand as elephants, but pretty cool.

Some facts about giraffes:
- They have the same number of vertebrae (7) in their necks as humans do (each vertabrae is simply bigger).
- They communicate primarily on the infrasound level (means we can't hear them), so if you like girlfriends that can't be heard, you might want to look into your next one being a giraffe.
- Their tongues are prehensible (means they are adapted for grasping or holding).
- They only have to sleep an average of 1.9 hours a day.
- Males are predominately homosexual and females usually only engage in sexual behavior for reproductive purposes.
- Males fight each other with their necks.
- Only 25 to 50% of giraffes reach adult hood.
- Their hearts can grow to be over two feet long.
Also, you might find this hard to believe, but, giraffes have long necks.
