Giraffe Plush Toy

A giraffe plush toy is full of whimsy and fun if for no other reason than because of its odd looks long neck, long legs and spotted body. And, with those odd looks, a giraffe plush toy makes a lovely companion and play pal for anyone lucky enough to acquire one.

Giraffes are the tallest living land animal standing anywhere between 14 and 16 feet. Antelope-like animals could be found on the plains of Africa some 15 million years ago, some of which had the distinguishing long neck feature. Within 6 million years, those same animals evolved into what we know today as the 'modern' giraffe with half of its height dedicated to that long neck.

There are many under the assumption that the neck of the giraffe evolved the way it did so as to aid the animal in feeding. After all, with their long neck, they are able to reach leaves on trees in which rivals would not be able to follow suit. While giraffes found in South Africa do in fact look for food high up in the treetops, in other areas of Africa, even when food is limited, other giraffes do not necessarily bother with the leaves found on the tops of trees. There is however, another theory as to why the giraffes neck evolved in such a way; it could have more to do with competing with other males for a mate.

A giraffe plush toy has a signature long neck and if it doesn't, it surely is not a giraffe! Like any other soft toy, a giraffe plush toy is also super soft, cushiony (for use as a pillow or to snuggle up to), and a terrific companion it can share in all adventures great or small or just be a friend when you need an ear to listen.
