Mouth and Tongue
the giraffe's tongue and mouth structure are specifically adapted to its diet. ts 18- to 20-inch-long prehensile tongue and grooved upper palate are designed to grasp and strip leaves from branches.
Heart and Circulation
The giraffe's blood pressure is twice that of humans a necessity to push blood up the neck to its brain. University of Pretoria South Africa revealed that the giraffe's heart is relatively small, and that its extraordinary power is the result of thick walls and a small radius.
