World Giraffe Day

June 21, the longest day of the year, celebrates the animals with the longest necks. This holiday was created by the Giraffe Conservation Foundation (GCF). According to estimates, there are fewer than 80,000 giraffes in the wild, and their population has declined by 40% in the last thirty years. According to biologists, they are at risk of extinction and therefore giraffes have been placed on the official list of endangered animals.
