10 Reasons Giraffes Are Easily The Most Amazing Animals In The World

Giraffes are one of the most amazing animals in the entire world. They make being tall, clumsy and awkward adorable. I'm not the tallest but I've always been called "Giraffe girl" so therefore I connect with them on a HIGHER level than most. Here are some reasons I think Giraffes are pretty rad.

1. They are ADORABLE


Could you ever say no to a face like this? I mean c'mon who wouldn't want to see this every day?

2. When they fight It's quite humorous

Yes! They fight with their necks! (A more effective way to fight)

3. They are all different

Although they look the same from a distance Giraffes are just like humans in a sense like humans having different fingerprints each giraffe has a different pattern of spots!

4. Their tongues

Giraffes tongues average to about 18-20 inches long! The dark color helps the tongue to be protected from sun exposure.

5. How they drink water

Giraffes necks are too short to reach the ground so they have to spread their legs to get a drink. Awkward!

6. They have big hearts figuratively and literally!

Giraffes hearts are two feet tall and can weigh up to 25 pounds! No wonder why Giraffes are such compassionate animals.

7. They are the tallest mammals on Earth!

Who doesn't want to have a 16-foot friend? If they are as cute as this sign me up!

8. They are clumsy and awkward and I can definitely relate

I'm very sure that every one of us can relate to this in some way.

9. They are very photogenic

Giraffes are very beautiful even when they don't even try. (They are also very goofy as you can see pictured above).

10. I can relate to them spiritually

Giraffes describe my personality perfectly. On the taller side, clumsy, goofy, different and awkward. If you make me angry It'll be ugly but I also have a big heart when you get on my good side.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
