But in addition to having one of the strangest aesthetics in the animal kingdom, they’re also pretty interesting. For one, did you know that they are the tallest mammals on Earth? Or that a newborn giraffe is usually six feet tall? How about that they have three hearts? Insane. We know. So if you weren’t interested in this long-necked creature before, aren’t you the least bit curious now?

If giraffes are yours or your kiddo’s favorite animal, you’re going to love these super silly jokes and puns about their favorite friend.

And if you don’t love, love, love giraffes? That’s okay, too! We already know our kids will laugh at literally anything.
