Did u know that a giraffe has the same number of bones in the neck as
humans do?
On a recent trip to Florida, I read an interesting fact that I didn't know as I
waiting for my plane to take off. A giraffe has the same number of bones in
their cervical spine (neck). A giraffe is a mammal just like us and it shares
the same number of vertebrae. The only difference is the height of these bones.
In a giraffe the length of the vertebrae are 10 inches. Wow !!!
