Ever wondered what noise Giraffes make? I had never thought about it before, but it turns out that they don't make any noise.

However, it seems that they do in fact make a
Pssh (http://abcnews.go.com/sections/wnt/DailyNews/giraffes021010.html) sound to communicate.

I know this seems like a very random posting but I saw it and thought, "Wow! That's amazing!" and had to share.

One of the info stations at a local Zoo said they make a noise like a sheep.

dunno about sound, but I think that giraffe shin bone is one of, if not the densest bone in the animal kingdom. It's prized by knifemakes, for use as handles because of this.
