      Because of the theory of relativity, and the difference in altitude between your likely location and Africa, and the definite difference in overall soil and rock densities between you and the planets core and a random point in Africa and the planet's core. It is untrue that very 60 seconds a minute passes in Africa. In fact, we cant even say that every 60 seconds a minute passes at our feet. But way to generalize Africa like that, come on it's 2020 we're better than that

    The reason the giraffe's neck is so long is that otherwise its head would be floating, detached, about ten feet above the rest of its body and that would be silly.

      No silly. Everyone knows that the giraffe was one of the first animals. And then the planet got hit by a space rock, which shoved the planet hard downwards. This happened so suddenly that the poor giraffes body followed the planet downloads immediately, but their head was a little slower, due to it being a lot lighter. And that is how their neck got so long.

    Okay, so with the males fighting, it looks all ‘drunken-bar like’, but the force is intense. The sound when they clash is spectacular. I have seen a few males fight, it really is humbling. Our giraffes are fairly tame (they are used to cars stopping and staring as I live on a shared private nature reserve, but they are not feeding tame), but when the males fight, it is terrifying.
    If you ever want to experience your own smallness, try ‘stalking’ a giraffe. I once was 5 meters away from one, looking at each other… I never felt so small. (For clarification, it was stalking in the observation sense, I don’t hunt and never will)

    The name camilopardalis is greek, it comes from the greek word for camel and the word "pardalis", which means colourful or patterned. So, basically camilopardalis (greek word for giraffe) means "the colourful, patterned camel". To be fair, their face does look like a camel. Leopard, similarly, literally means "the colourful patterned lion". Kinda accurate me thinks 😂 fun fact, even today greeks use the word "pardali" for colourful clothes, animals and, even, colourful characters. If you are called pardalos by a greek it could be a playful tease or a backhanded compliment or an offense depending on how it's used.

Pigs may have two toes, but they do NOT chew cud, so you can't eat them." Child Me was very confused until I considered that rabbis probably just needed a reason to stop people from getting sick from eating certain types of meat.

    I used to work with giraffes at the zoo. They are some of the most fascinatingly weird animals. Obviously there's their anatomy, but what I found out working closely with them is they all have very weird, silly personalities. Once they get comfortable around a person they're like dogs but like, really stupid dogs. They learned we used panel vans to transport their food on the bigger, outer patch behind the scenes, so they would follow any van that went by, sometimes even ones in the parking lot (which could be seen from their enclosure). They also knew we did special live feedings, letting guests give them fresh mulberry branches, at a certain time everyday and would be waiting there for it around that time. Until daylight savings started or ended and messed up their whole schedule. One of them, a giraffe who had to be hand raised at the zoo, became very friendly with us, but especially one of the keepers I mostly worked with. Whenever that keeper did the live feedings, the giraffe would... lick his head. Like, wrap his tongue around the keeper's head and pull up, leaving the keeper's hair all swirly with that sticky giraffe slobber. He would even knock the keeper's hat off if he wore one. It was very cute to watch.
    We had to send that giraffe to another zoo eventually because he kept trying to have sex with his own mom
