Giraffes

Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) are the tallest land animals, with an average height of 14 to 18 feet for males and 13 to 16 feet for females. One fun fact about giraffes is that despite their long necks, they have the same number of neck vertebrae as humans—seven. These vertebrae, however, are much more elongated, allowing giraffes to reach high branches and leaves that other herbivores can’t access.

White-Tailed Deer

White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are a common species in North America, with males (bucks) standing about 3 feet at the shoulder and weighing up to 300 pounds, while females (does) are slightly smaller. A fun fact about white-tailed deer is that they are named for the characteristic white underside of their tails, which they raise like a flag as a warning signal to other deer when they sense danger.

Wrapping Up

The video of the curious giraffe inspecting a baby deer is heartwarming. It serves as a reminder of the gentle interactions that can occur in the wild. Even between species of vastly different sizes.
