Animal of the Day: Giraffe!

The giraffe has the highest blood pressure of all animals.

Giraffes can run at up to 35 mph, but usually cruise at 10 mph.

Giraffes usually stay in packs of about 6.

Giraffes chew their cud like cows.

A giraffe's tongue is 18 inches long.

Giraffes only drink once every several days because it is an awkward, difficult, and dangerous experience. They are vulnerable to predators and have to splay their legs.

Giraffes fall 5 feet to the ground when born.

Male giraffes neck wrestle for dominance.
