🦒 Happy World Giraffe Day! 🌍💛

Today we celebrate the tallest land animals on Earth — the majestic giraffes! With their long necks and iconic spots, giraffes are truly one of nature’s most extraordinary creatures.

Here’s a wild fact: giraffes have the same number of neck vertebrae as humans — just seven! The difference? Each one can be over 10 inches long, allowing them to reach leaves high in the trees and giving them their signature silhouette.

But despite their height, giraffes are quietly disappearing. Their populations have dropped by nearly 40% in recent decades due to habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict.

World Giraffe Day is a time to stand tall for giraffes and raise awareness about their conservation.
