Read about it
Giraffes have the same number of neck bones as people; each one is just much longer. A giraffe has a big, strong heart to pump all the way up its long neck to its head. When it bends down to drink, it spreads its front legs wide. Each giraffe's patch pattern is its own, and scientists use the patterns to tell them apart.
