Giraffe Adult Male Vertebrae #1 Replica

Description

Giraffe adult male vertebrae #1 replica measures 11.0 x 6.9 x 10.4 inches. The Cervus camelopardalis vertebrae is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast of a California Academy of Sciences specimen. 1:1 scale. Made in USA.

The giraffe, reaching heights up to nineteen feet, is the tallest terrestrial animal living today. Native to Africa, the giraffe feeds on leaves that are out of reach of most other herbivores. Their long tongue allows the giraffe to delicately pluck foliage from amongst the sharp thorns of the Acacia tree.

Giraffes grow unique hair covered bumps on their heads called ossicones. These structures develop from cartliage and turn into bone over time.
