Do Giraffes Hum to Communicate?

šŸ’” The Answer

  • Researchers have discovered that giraffes produce low-frequency humming sounds to stay in contact.
  • These hums likely serve as 'contact calls' for individuals who have been separated from their herd.
  • The humming is most frequently recorded at night, helping the animals find each other in the dark.
  • Some evidence suggests that giraffes may even engage in a form of 'sleep talking' while resting.
