Giraffe (study)

The Giraffe study, conducted in 2010 by researchers including Catherine H. N. Green, investigated the unique way giraffes’ necks grow and develop. They examined the genetic and environmental factors influencing their long necks, aiming to understand how these impressive structures evolved and function. The study also explored how giraffes use their necks for feeding and social behavior. Overall, it provided insights into giraffe biology, evolution, and adaptation, enhancing our understanding of how such extreme traits develop in mammals.
