A mom giraffe can one have one giraffe each time pregnant. They are dropped 6 feet to the ground as she gives birth standing up. The baby is born 5 to 6 feet tall. This baby was 2 weeks premature and is 5 feet tall. Giraffes can communicate with other giraffes several miles away and they can kill a lion with one kick. They are most susceptible to being attacked when a baby or when drinking water. They sleep 20 minutes a day and their eyes are as big as tennis balls. They are 16 to 20 feet tall in height when reach maturity.

Haha. Coming to take over the world. Only that said they sleep 2 hours a day but they often sleep a half hour and can sleep for 20 minutes. I think they are amazing animals

How come they have horns?

From Wikipedia:

Both sexes have horns, although the horns of a female are smaller. The prominent horns are formed from ossified cartilage, and are called ossicones. The appearance of horns is a reliable method of identifying the sex of giraffes, with the females displaying tufts of hair on the top of the horns, whereas males' horns tend to be bald on top - an effect of necking in combat. Males sometimes develop calcium deposits which form bumps on their skull as they age, which can give the appearance of up to three additional horns
