Just like us, the giraffe has 7 neck vertebrae. There vertebrae is just longer making their neck longer and appear to have more bones.

Seven, the same number humans have, but the ones a giraffe has are much larger. Giraffes posses seven neck bones (known as vertebrae) in their necks, the same as our necks, but they are elongated are separated by highly flexible joints. Giraffes have 7 neck vertebrae, the exact same number as other mammals, but they are much larger and elongated.

Giraffes possess seven vertebrae (although disputed by some zoologists who claim that it has eight)

That is not quite true - Giraffes have seven vertebrae in their neck, but also have thoracic lumbar, sacral and coccygeal vertebrae. The numbers of coccygeal vertebrae can vary, but I think giraffes have a total of about 50 vertebrae.

There are seven vertebrae in a giraffe's neck, just like humans. Just like humans and most mammals, a giraffe has seven neck bones. But those are really, really BIG bones. see the link for more info about Giraffes

A giraffe has seven bones in its neck the same as a human. A giraffes vertabrates are just longer than that of a human because a human doesnt need to have a long neck in order to reach their main food source, giraffes do because their main food source is off of Acai trees.

There are seven bones in the giraffe neck! just like the human! can you believe that!!??

A giraffe only has 7 - just like a human. They are just longer, as much as 11" long.

They have seven, which is the same number that humans have. Interestingly, the only mammals to have a different number are the manatee and 3 toed sloth, which have 6.
