Males typically weigh between 1,800 and 2,000 pounds, with about 600 pounds of that from their necks. Part of that weight comes from the seven vertebrae, which is the same number of vertebrae humans have in their necks. Giraffes' are much bigger, obviously, about 10 inches long.
That causes their necks to be heavy, usually between 500 and 600 pounds. Although their necks look like the longest part of their bodies, that isn't really the case. Giraffes' legs are about the same length as their necks, about 6 feet long. The rest of their height, about 4 to 5 feet, comes from their bodies. The weight of their necks, logically, makes up about a third of their body weight.
