The knobs on a giraffe's head, known as ossicones, are made of bone and covered in skin and fur. They serve several purposes, including aiding in thermoregulation by helping dissipate heat, and are used in social interactions, particularly during mating displays and fights between males. Ossicones can also offer some protection during sparring, where giraffes use their necks to strike opponents.
