A giraffe has two gaits: walking and galloping. When walking the right legs move together and the left legs together. When galloping, the giraffe uses its front legs together and its back legs together. The walk has an ambling rhythm with the neck working in synchronicity to keep the body in balance.
the legs of a giraffe are also 6 feet 1 8 meters long the back legs look shorter than the front legs but they are about the same length a giraffe s heart is 2 feet 0 6 meters long and weighs about 25 pounds 11 kilograms and its lungs can hold 12 gallons 55 liters of air its closest relative is the okapiou might think watching out for lions and spending 16 to 20 hours a day eating would all weigh heavily on a giraffe surprisingly enough giraffes only need 5 to 30 minutes of sleep in a 24 hour period they often achieve that in quick naps that may last only a minute or two at a time
