Giraffes Are Into Some Weird Stuff
We’re not saying Giraffes are a bit too kinky for us, but they might be into some stuff we’re not sure we can follow them in. One of the strangest animal habits known involves the Giraffe and how they mate. Before a male can know a female is ready to mate, he must drink her urine first. This is done to taste if specific hormones are present. If they are, the male knows that the giraffe is ready to mate with.

However, in order to get the urine, the male will quite literally kick/nudge the female to make her take a leak. From there, if she is ready to do so, she will actually walk away for a few days until she’s ready to do this thing. After psyching herself up to make it happen, because her sister is younger and she does NOT want to have to deal with her mating first, she’ll head back to the male. Once she mates, the female will usually carry the calf around for 13 to 15 months until the baby literally falls out.
