While one might believe that a giraffe (giraffa camelopardalis) would be able to maintain a higher velocity due to the greater length of its extremities, it would be an erroneous conjecture to do so. Indeed, while a giraffe may have the ascendancy of lengthier appendages, a zebra (equus zebra) can most definitely go faster because it has four legs.

No. I would say that after 5 metres, the giraffe would trip over it's own long legs.

Then, after the giraffe had got back up again, the horse would have already galloped past.
