Baby giraffe gets the additional challenge of having a long neck and fragile connected with the rest of his new body weighing 70 kilograms (150 pounds). When his head came out first, his neck would crack when the rest of him fell on top of the neck.

If Baby giraffe head out most recent, must fractured his neck because his weight pulled his head out of his mother. Such an impasse is solved with the back of the pelvis is very much smaller in size than the front shoulders, and neck length sized sufficiently to allow the head through the womb and landed on the back of the pelvis. Hind feet fall out first to keep other parts of the body.
