I dont think you were expecting a real answer for this one, lol.
Giraffes chew their cud like cows and deer do, they regurgitate their food to chew it again to digest it better. Because of this, giraffes can also vomit. But vomiting puts a lot of pressure on the body because of the long distance from the stomach to the head, so vomiting for a giraffe can be dangerous and can cause fatal aspiration pnemonia. It is especially dangerous when a giraffe is under anethesia, because the giraffe is lying down, an unnatural position for a giraffe. But giraffes are extreamly picky eaters, so I guess mother nature made it that way to prevent vomiting from eating the wrong things. I looked up vomiting on a lot of websites and even asked a zookeeper, but nobody knew how long it takes for a giraffe to vomit. I am truely sorry. Maybe you could ask the guys on mythbusters?

Screaming with laughter at this ... we were on a long car journey and my little daughter (aged maybe 2) had been quiet for a while. All of a sudden issued from the back seat the profound question: "Do Elephants Have Snotties Up Their Noses?"
(She since went on to get a First at Uni. ... though not in Philosophy)

If the giraffe was drinking tequila to excess then when you hear a belly rumble, run for cover because I think that it would only take about five seconds when the head is lowered to the ground. In a human it takes less than one second.

I don't know... but did you know that a giraffe has the same number of bones in it's neck as a person....
Just a bit of trivia....

How long does it take for an elephant to blow his nose? You should think about a career in zoology!
