This means the adjacent air has different pressures, causing it to effectively blow across their bodies, giving a cooling effect." rel="lightbox[related-images-for-tower-of-giraffe]" ><img title="Drinking Giraffe" alt="Drinking Giraffe" src="http://crazycreatures.org/wp-content/gallery/ungulates/thumbs/thumbs_giraffe_drinking.jpg" /></a>
