Their size and their long necks are extraordinary. But like all other mammals Giraffes have got only seven cervical vertebras. The long neck is a result of the fact that each cervical vertebra is extremely lengthened.
Giraffes wear two to six short and blunt horns on their heads.
These horns consist of bone tissue and are almost completely covered with skin and fur. The Giraffes's fore legs are longer than the hind legs. So the relativly short body slopes away. Giraffes are even-toed ungulates. The markings of the fur are like fingerprints among Giraffes.
