Baby Giraffes

Most mammals give birth lying down.
But did you know that baby giraffes are born
with their Moms standing upright during labor?

From a height of about six feet, the baby
twists midair to land on its feet.

Isn't that neat?

  1. Once I watched a giraffe give birth...*shudders but is still fascinated*
    That's cool in a weird way, though! :)
