How to use giraffe in a sentence?

1. Dan Cassidy:

   They'll go out if they have a chance every day, but the giraffe wouldn't think about it.

2. Tom De Meulenaer:

   The giraffe is in the wild much rarer than African elephants, much rarer, we are talking about a few tens of thousands of giraffes, and we talk about a few hundreds of thousands of African elephants. So we need to be careful.

3. Tess Thompson Talley:

   The giraffe I hunted was the South African sub-species of giraffe. The numbers of this sub-species is actually increasing due, in part, to hunters and conservation efforts paid for in large part by big game hunting. The breed is not rare in any way other than it was very old. Giraffes get darker with age.

4. Zoe Muller:

   The most surprising thing for me is that it has taken until 2021 to recognize that giraffes have a complex social system. We have known for decades about other species of socially complex mammal, such as elephants, primates and cetaceans, but it is baffling to me how such a charismatic and well-known species as the giraffe could have been so understudied until recently.

5. Adam Hartstone-Rose:

   There are interesting philosophical questions too, because we don't know how to tell when a giraffe perceives the sun, but we know they are affected by this.
