The length of a giraffe’s neck varies among individuals, but on average, it measures around 6 to 7 feet (1.8 to 2.1 meters) in length. With such an elongated neck, giraffes are capable of reaching vegetation at considerable heights, allowing them to browse on leaves that other animals cannot access. Their necks are made up of seven vertebrae, just like other mammals, but each vertebra is significantly elongated, giving them the remarkable ability to reach high branches with ease.
