Giraffe Mammary Glands. Brown, dark orange, light brown and beige are the primary colors in the coats of giraffes. Male giraffes can be 18 feet tall at the top of the horns.
Mammae are apocrine glands, found between the second and seventh ribs in humans. In fact, the mammary gland is one of a few body organs that undergo repeated cycles of structural development, functional differentiation, and regression. These work to keep the colostrum, the highly nutritious first milk secreted by mammary glands, from leaking out.
Giraffes Chew Their Cud Just Like Cows.
The face of giraffes has a friendly and peaceful look. Male giraffes can be 18 feet tall at the top of the horns. The mammary gland is a structure unique to the members belonging to the class mammalia.

Careful Management Of This Cycle Is The Basis For Successful Lactation In Dairy Animals.
We think teat is the possible answer on this clue. In fact, the mammary gland is one of a few body organs that undergo repeated cycles of structural development, functional differentiation, and regression. The mother gives birth standing up, so the calf usually drops 5 feet to the ground.
Giraffes Are The World's Tallest Mammals, Thanks To Their Towering Legs And Long Necks.
The number of mammary glands depends on the species of mammal. They feature little ears that look like those of a deer on the sides of their ossicones. Mammalian species differ in their composition of milk and are uniquely suitable for species for which it was synthesized.
Regulated By The Endocrine System, Mammary Glands Respond To The Hormonal Changes That Take Place During Pregnancy And Following Birth.
The skin of the giraffe has the same general histological structure as that of other mammals, but there are notable features. The giraffe is the largest ruminant and the worlds tallest animal. A few more giraffe facts.
