Why this animal was picked: Giraffe's are my favorite animal and have some interesting things about them.
Other Information: The giraffe has one of the shortest sleep requirements of any mammal, which is between ten minutes and two hours in a 24-hour period, averaging 1.9 hours per day. Although generally quiet and non-vocal, giraffes have been heard to make various sounds.Males will emit loud coughs.Females will call their young by whistling or bellowing. Calves will bleat, moo, or make mewing sounds. In addition, giraffes will grunt, snort, hiss, or make strange flute-like sounds. Recent research has shown evidence that the animal communicates at an infrasound level.
