  4. Giraffes spend most of their lives standing up; they even sleep and give birth standing up.

  5. The giraffe calf can stand up and walk after about an hour and within a week, it starts to sample vegetation.

  6. Despite the females’ attempts to stand over their calves during attacks by lions, spotted hyenas, leopards and African wild dogs (4), many calves are killed in their first few months.
