To answer the question in the simplest way, the giraffe has a backbone.
However, there is more to it than that, especially given that there are two invertebrate chordate groups - Urochordata (tunicates) and Cephalachordata (lancelets) - whose backbone is not in the form of actual vertebrae.
As Chordates (or members of the phylum Chordata), giraffes share the following characteristics:
The humpback whale belongs to the phylum Chordata.

Sharks are a group of fish with a skeleton of cartilage instead of bone. There are over 470 species of shark ranging from the dwarf lanternshark (6.7 inches long) to the whale shark (39 feet long). Their phylum is Chordata (having a backbone), and class is Chondrichthyes (cartilage skeleton).
