The average for a giraffe's neck is about 6 feet long and about 200 lbs. Some giraffes' necks have grown to nearly 10 feet.
Female giraffes become sexually mature around 3 or 4 years old. The gestation or pregnancy period for a female giraffe is about 14 - 15 months. A female giraffe will give birth to a calf that stands about 6 feet tall and weighs approximately 150 lbs. Giraffes use their long necks to reach for leaves high in trees. They only have seven vertebrae in their necks, the same as humans.
