...DYK ??? Have you ever heard or know the sound of giraffe 🦒??? Cows moo, lions roar, and pigs oink. But for many years it's been assumed that, except for the occasional snort, giraffes spent most of their lives in a tight-lipped silence. For decades zookeepers reported occasional snorts as the only sounds their charges made. The conventional explanation was that the long necks of giraffes caused their taciturn nature. Giraffes do have a larynx (voice box), but perhaps they couldn't produce sufficient airflow through their 13-foot long (4 meter) trachea to vibrate their vocal folds and make noises. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wired.com/2015/09/giraffe-say-scientists-find-answer/amp ...I'm confused now, do they have vocal chords??? Hahah but it states here that they are humming. Is it because of their long neck???hmmmm. Interesting 🤓 #DidYouKnow
