Giraffes reproduce sexually, with males competing for the attention of females during mating season. After successful mating, a female giraffe has a gestation period of about 15 months before giving birth to a single calf, although twins can occur rarely. The calf is typically born while the mother stands, resulting in a drop of about 6 feet, which helps stimulate its breathing. Within a few hours, the calf can stand and walk, quickly joining the mother and the rest of the herd.
