Young Maasai giraffes, also known as calves, have an interesting fact about their growth rate. During their first year of life, they can grow up to an astonishing 1 inch (2.54 cm) per day, resulting in a rapid increase in their height. This fast growth rate allows them to better evade predators and reach the tall vegetation their species is known for consuming.
