What type of animal is a giraffe?
Yes, all mammals are vertebrates because they have a backbone. Therefore, since a giraffe is a mammal, it is a vertebrate.
For more information about vertebrates and invertebrates see the related questions.
There is no evidence to suggest that giraffe dig holes to die. This myth seems to have been perpetuated with the film Madagascar Escape 2 Africa. There is no way a giraffe would have the strength to dig a hole when it approaches death, especially one that was large enough for it to fit into.
There is some suggestion that, in times of drought, giraffes dig to help open up waterholes, but this is the only form of digging that giraffes undertake.
Girraffes do indeed eat lotus trees. I have come to the conclusion giraffes are part alien as I saw a bit of green in there eyes
I also noticed them having close relationship with monkeys, this is very probable as miss Kloester and Mrs Chingla told me so. Giraffes also find Christmas the most rewarding time of the year. They love to recieve palm oil as it endangers orangutanngs and you cannot believe Jesus

Can you keep a giraf as a pet?
Absolutely you can buy giraffes. There are many things you need to consider when buying this, or any other "exotic" animal. Do you have enough room for the animal? What about feeding it and providing proper veterinary care? I mean what are the odds that the animal will go from birth to death not needing some care? Dont think for a second that your local vet. will be equiped or willing to take care of your exotic. Food is a subject all on its own. If the animal is from another country, or another continent all-together, feeding it could be extremely difficult and/or expensive. Many animals require specific diets, which now you would have to figure out what it is - and how to go about providing it.
There are many questions you would need to really ask yourself, but the answer to most "can I buy..." questions is yes, for a price.
I'd be more interested in renting, say for a bachelor party.

What is the origin of the word giraffe?
Via the French and Italian, and ultimately the Arabic zerafa.
giraffe is derived from its early Roman name, where it was described as having characteristics of both a camel and a leopard Giraffes are the only animals born with horns. Both males and females are born with bony knobs on the forehead. The average giraffe's blood pressure is two or three times that of a healthy man.
According to the national Zoo, giraffes only sleep for about a half-hour a day. This time is typically broken up into about six, five-minute naps. They require less sleep than any other mammal.
The giraffe has one of the shortest sleep requirements of any mammal, which is between 10 minutes and two hours in a 24-hour period, averaging 1.9 hours per day.
They need their long necks and legs to get their food. They eat leaves off of (tall) trees. Giraffes evolved from shorter animals, because the ability to eat leaves that most animals could not reach gave them a survival advantage.
Giraffe's usually inhabit Savannas and Grasslands that are abundant in trees like Acacia, Commiphora, Combretum etc. They browse on twigs of tree, preferringt he Acacia, Commiphora and Terminalia. They also feed on grass and fruits. They dont prefer grass much because, they have to bend down to graze, which isnt so easy if we consider its size. A giraffe eats around 65 pounds (around 30 kilos) of vegetation daily, but during lean periods, they can survive with around 15 pounds.

The leaves on acacia trees are small to help reduce the loss of water from the tree. The relatively small surface area of the leaf means that less water is lost as opposed to if the leaf was large. This is very important because acacia trees usually grow is dry climates.
