• TALL FACTS:-
  
• Giraffes require the least amount of sleep of any animal. They only need between 10 minutes and 2 hours of sleep a day.
• Giraffes have a tongue that is able to grasp and hold items. This type of tongue is call prehensile. It also allows them to curl their tongue around leaves and branches high up in trees.
• Just like humans, giraffes have seven vertebrae in their necks. Unlike humans, however, each vertebrae is about 5 inches (11 centimeters) long. The neck of an adult giraffe is about six feet long (1.8 meters), and is extremely muscular.

Feel free to send a bubble mail to your hosts Angie or a-m with a query or suggestions at any time…♥
