The things on the top of the giraffes head is called Ossicones. (Also called horn)

Another thing about the ossicones is that some believe the horns are cooling towers and release heat. Others that it's just a way to protect their heads.

If you look, you may find out. I suggest you use a ladder.

Giraffes generally only have fur/hair on top of their heads, nothing else. No hats, no nothing.

What is a giraffes kneck used for?

Besides holding up its head, and allowing air, food, and water to pass from the head to the body, a giraffes neck has some unique functions. A giraffe's neck is very long to allow it to reach leaves that are high up in the trees. Male giraffes also use their necks to fight, swinging them and hitting their opponents in the neck.


What is the structural adaptation of the giraffe?

A long neck that enables it to reach fruit and leaves at the top of trees. This adaptation happened because the giraffes with the longer necks survived when the shorter necked giraffes couldn't. The shorter necked giraffes did not have enough food to eat, as it was all unreachable in the trees. Thus the longer necked giraffes who survived mated with other long necked giraffes and produced more long necked giraffes!
