After a 14-15 month pregnancy, a giraffe gives birth to a baby who is about 6 feet tall. Since the mama giraffe's birth canal is about 6 feet off the ground, the baby slides out feet first and flops over. This is a good thing. Its like the doctor slapping a human baby's feet to get her breathing.
Giraffes protect their young by keeping them underneath them all the time and they kick predators.
