Did you know that Giraffe's have seven cervical (neck) vertebrae just like ours? Well, not exactly....they do have seven, as do we, but as you can see their bones are somewhat larger. This is the Giraffe's second cervical vertebrae or C2. Neat, huh?

Did you know that a Cheetah uses it spine like a spring when running? The spring like motion helps to propel the cheetah's body forward so it can run so quickly.
