Goal # 34

GOAL #34 SPEND THE DAY WITH GIRAFFES

I didn't get to spend a whole day with Giraffes, but I had to opportunity to spend a little time with them. I truly wish that I could have had a longer time, but the health and well-being of these magnificent animals is more important that my Ridiculist.

I don't know if it's those big brown eyes, or the nerdy big ears, that make them so adorable to me, but I just love them. 

Here are a few facts about my favorite wild animal

1. It's the tallest mammal on the planet.

2. Giraffes only need a max of 30 minutes sleep a day.

3. A giraffe's neck is too short to reach the ground, hence the awkward stance at the watering hole.

4. Giraffes give birth standing up - Ouch.

5. The fuzzy horns on a giraffes head are called Ossicones.

6. A giraffes spots are as unique as our fingerprints.

7. A giraffes tongue can reach up to 21 inches.

8. Giraffes have 32 teeth.
