But giraffes can stand on flat ground and reach their head almost straight up above them. I tried to match the body position in the comparison image I made. I’m not sure why they think the giraffe’s legs would be so far forward but it doesn’t matter because it shows neck mobility Image

Yeah, maybe it’s because if they crane their neck upwards, their rump rises instead of their head

Ooh, this image makes it very clear why the floating position must be so uncomfortable for them
