Best Answer

A giraffe is not an invertebrate, because it has a vertebral column, or a spine. All mammals, like giraffes, are vertebrates that do have backbones, internal skeletons, and the other characteristics of vertebrates (see links for more information on vertebrates and invertebrates). Some examples of invertebrates are insects, mollusks, starfish, jellyfish, earthworms, and other animals and sea creatures that are mostly "mush".
