youngest just asked me and we are trying out all sorts of silly noises here, but none of them sound right lol xxLynnxx

I think I saw a programme on tele. and they said that giraffes don't make any noises. Lin x

it sounds like a zoo here linda we play a little game where one of us says an animal and the other has to make the sound it makes we got a bit stuck with the giraffe lol xxLynnxx

Apparently they rarely make a noise but when they do, it's a snort or a moo! And a giraffe's tongue is 22 inches long!

Looks like their mute Giraffes’ milk is seven times richer in protein than cow’s milk. Their hearts weigh about 25 lb. (11.4 kgs.) and their blood pressure is two or three times that of man, which is quite necessary considering how high the blood must be pumped. There is a unique valve in a giraffe's neck to stop the blood rushing to its head when it bends down. ****Giraffes make no noise and show affection by pressing their necks together. The giraffe gives birth standing up, which means that the first experience of each baby giraffe is a fall to earth from a height of about 6 feet (1.83 metres). The neck of the giraffe has seven vertebrae, the same number as in the human neck. http://www.learnenglish.org.uk/magazine/people.asp?person=38

Just googled it and they grunt, snort but are thought to possibly 'speak' through some kind of infrasound ??????????? Lin x

wow, arent they just beautifull animals, so gracefull and elegant next life, id like to come back as a giraffe and it would make a change to be tall !!!! lol xxLynnxx

In the paper today, there's a little column called 'Out of the Mouths', supposed to be true stories of what children have said. This lady was going through animal noises with her little 2-year-old girl as follows: What noise does a cow make? Moo What noise does a dog make? Woof What noise does a mouse make? Click! Mandy :))

very good mandy a sign of the times eh xxLynnxx

Methinks, it depends upon from which end the sound is emanating Bob

I always felt like a giraffe when I was younger as I was the tallest at school and had lots of freckles in the summer! I love the mouse noise Mandy! Jacky :-) PS What an unexpected comment from a man!! :-)
