Question of the Week / QotW - 11.04.17 - How do giraffes vomit given that they have such long necks?

Actually, giraffes are more closely related to camels and cows than horses (which almost never vomit). They have compartmented stomaches and regurgitate their food to chew the cud. So they are capable of vomiting. They just require more pressure to send the food up to the mouth. The added pressure can cause health problems, though, especially during cases of sedation.
