happy world giraffe day!

Happy World Giraffe Day! Giraffes are in huge trouble, in fact in the last 15 years their numbers have dropped by 40%! Giraffes threats are poaching and habitat destruction. But there are breeding programs for Giraffes. World Giraffe Day this year hopesto be the biggest yet, and hoping that they will raise  $100,000 to be able to fund project TWIGA and to help ensure some of the world’s most vulnerable giraffes get a safe new home! Lets all hope that happens.


Some cool facts about Giraffe are:


  • They have the same number of neck bones as us.
  • Giraffes are the world's tallest mammal.
  • Babies are taller than most humans.
  • Babies can stand up after a hour after being born and 10 hours after their birth infill they can run.
  • These amazing creatures have the least time asleep out any mammals, in fact only 2 hours and 10 minters.
  • Young Giraffes spend time with play mates in a nursery.
  • No two Giraffes have the same spot pattern on them.
  • Each individual Giraffes tongue is 45cm long. Their tounges are adapted to they can go around their food and pull it off the tree (Acacia Tree leaves) and their tongues are very thick so the spines on the trees don't pierce their tongues.

But there is a lot you can also do to help Giraffes like:

  1. Adopt a Giraffe
  2. Send letters to the African government about protecting their habitat
  3. Spread the message


Thank You For Reading
