According to the World Wildlife Federation, giraffes are the tallest terrestrial mammal in the entire world. The males regularly stand at five meters tall – the same height as a single-story home. What’s even more impressive is a giraffe’s massive heart – and we don’t mean they’re extra generous. The gentle giants have a heart two-foot heart and a blood pressure that’s up to three times greater than a healthy human’s. How else would all that blood pump blood up its insanely long neck?
Giraffes are so tall they actually have trouble standing up from a seated position, which is why you usually see them standing. On the plus side, they can nab the best leaves at the top of tall trees. Yum!
