The Giraffe is the tallest living animal. It has 7 vertebrae in its neck just like humans! There are nine generally accepted subspecies, differentiated by colour and pattern variations and range. 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.
