giraffes have 2 brains. 1 in the melon and 1 near the tail, coz the messages takes too long to go up and down the long neck.
Im not just making this up.
Im still not convinced im wrong.

They have one (1) brain and are extremely interesting animals. They sleep the least of any animal and spend up to 20 hours a day eating. Read the first page of this web site:

It has nothing to do with hunting, I don't think
I suppose a muma giraffe with a little one in her tummy could be said to have two brains, but one of them really isn't hers...lol
A better question might be, Are there any animals with more than one brain?
Here's a web site telling about the dinosaur that supposedly had two brains: http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_003.html
cute poem eh?

It has 1 brain. Every human and animal has 1 brain, not 2! No matter how big or small a head is, it always has 1 brain.

6.
1 at the top of it's neck. 1 at the bottom of it's neck (because it's so long) and 1 at the top of each of it's long legs. I'm amazed they are so co-ordinated.

But seriously, just the one.
Why did you think it had two?
