something interesting, huh? Well, let me see... Giraffes have special One Way valves in their neck so that when they drink, all of the blood in it's body doesn't flow to its head. That way it can drink for many hours. I would like to add on to his/hers. Giraffes can spend over an hour making sure there are no lions (their main predator) around, because when they lean down to drink is their weakest position. This is one of the very few times a lion will dare to approach an adult giraffe. A giraffes favorite food comes from the Acacia tree (Check my spelling on that one). One blow from the kick of a giraffe can kill a lion. They run about 35 miles per hour. When males fight, they do so by swinging their heads and necks at the other. I believe females grow to be 17-19 feet tall. that's all I can think of from the top of my head =)

The name "giraffe" is believed to have originated from the Arabic word "zarāfah," which means "fast-walker" or "one who walks swiftly."
