Just like humans, giraffes have seven neck vertebrae. For giraffes, however, each one can be over ten inches (25.4 centimeters) long!

Giraffes have long necks, which they use to browse the leaves of trees. They possess seven vertebrae in the neck (the usual number for a mammal).

Surprising Giraffes have the same amount in their neck as humans do, but they are much larger obviously : )

However many are in a human neck. I don't know the number, but i know it's the same. They just have longer bones.

Same as people - 7!
(Strange, isn't it?)
That's one of the reasons that it isn't super-flexible (like a monkey's tail) They pretty much keep it straight when they can.
