@ripplepetaquamation: Why Do Giraffes Run So Weird? Giraffes might look awkward, but their loping gait is actually super efficient! Those long legs take huge strides, allowing them to reach top speeds of around 35 mph. It's all about conserving energy over long distances, which is key for escaping predators in the savanna. #ripplepetaquamation #aquamation #petaquamation #Westernaustralia #perth #australia #ecofriendly #Pets #PetsLove #petlover #petlovers #animal #giraffe
