  Hey!
  
  the answer will surprise you given giraffe necks can be over 2meters long: only 7! That is the same number of vertebrae that humans have. Only theirs are very stretched, each of them being 10inches long!
  Interestingly, because giraffe mothers would have a pretty hard time giving birth to a giraffe baby with such a long neck, the vertebrae only stretch and elongate once born!
