i am talking on the ground transportation from one place to another without the use of trains? do they have to put them out so they will lay down??

The transportation of one giraffe is described in the linked article. They say:
"So, how do you transport a 9-foot-tall giraffe?
In a trailer similar to one transporting horses, though it has an extendable roof. The giraffe will be guided in and stand until the roof slowly is lowered.
"They don't like anything touching their heads so she'll eventually lay down," said Fleshman.
There are periodic stops on longer trips during which the roof is cranked up to give the giraffe, like a human, a chance to stretch."
The height of giraffes makes transporting them a challenge!

I'm sure an open trailer would do alright, as long as the giraffe is protected from being bounced around. You might be able to go online to find trailers especially for transportation. I looked online a little for you, and I was not able to find anything. Perhaps you could call a zoo in your area?

Call Noah and get instructions on how to build an Ark - maybe he has blueprints for Arks on wheels by now...
