The giraffe’s life begins with a fall from a height of two meters. The mother stops at birth. Lying down makes you vulnerable. So the newborn flops onto the floor, hooves and legs first. But it doesn’t fall. After all, it is already 1.80 meters tall. This is mainly on the neck. Half an hour later the cub gets up. It can hold its head up and suck milk from its mother without difficulty.
