The Giraffe spirit animal symbolizes being strong, with deep intuition, and farsighted.

Moreover, courage to reach things that others cannot, using body language correctly, being attentive to what one says, staying beyond arguments, and family are other symbols of the Giraffes.

Whereas if you ask what a Giraffe spirit animal means and symbolize, I can assure you that the symbolic meaning of your spirit animal, the Giraffe, is unique to you.

That is why I have created an ultimate guide with Giraffe symbolization to guide you in finding the symbolic meaning for you.

Let’s start

What does the spirit animal Giraffe mean?

The Giraffe is the tallest of the animals.

Giraffes are not elegant-looking for many people due to their lengths that can reach 6 meters, their necks exceeding 2 meters, and their very long legs.

However, their body weight distribution is exceptionally balanced.

Thanks to their long necks, they can see far away and be cautious, and the balanced weight and strength of their bodies reinforce their courage.

They can kill a lion with a strong kick.

In the symbolism of the Giraffe neck, images such as the bridge formed between different dimensions, seeing beyond, the balance between Earth and Sky, above and below, harmony and intuitiveness can be counted.

The Giraffe shows the person it guides that if she can stretch her neck a little and expand her limits, she can enter a world full of options she hadn’t thought of.

Spirit animal Giraffe meaning

Spirit animals can help us in situations when we need guidance. Often we need to think outside the box, which may seem harsh to us.

That is when a spirit animal can guide us with his wisdom.

Due to their gentle nature, many people do not think of Giraffes as spirit animals. But believe me, they can offer you significant spiritual guidance.

Spirit animal baby Giraffe

Female Giraffes give birth standing.

That means the calves drop to the ground from approximately 5 feet high. But the fantastic thing is they can stand up after 1 hour of their birth. And within one week, the calves also learn to walk correctly.

Even after the hit during the birth, they stand up soon.

Hence a spirit animal, a baby Giraffe, can guide you to stand up in adverse situations. It will assist you in never giving up and lead to success.

Blue Giraffe spirit animal

Most Giraffes are a mix of brown and white color or yellow.

While there is no such thing as blue Giraffe animals, there is a child book called Blue & Bertie by Kristina Litten (check here for the UK and here for the US), and there is a blue Giraffe character.

As we human beings use the same archetypical images from the same source of wisdom, this blue Giraffe symbol can guide us.

Check out the summary of the book:

“Bertie the Giraffe’s life is straightforward and predictable: every day, he and his herd nibble leaves, sip water, and nap.
But one day, Bertie oversleeps and wakes up lost and alone.
Well, not quite alone—he meets Blue, a lonely blue Giraffe who offers to show him the way home.
On the way, Blue has a lot to show his new friend about the world’s wonders that Bertie had never noticed before.
But when Bertie gets home, will his herd welcome Blue, even though he is different?”

Giraffe psychic meaning

Due to their long neck, Giraffes are said to have psychic powers.

Some African cultures refer to Giraffes as being able to hear God.

The story originated from a famous African folktale. It is:

When God created Giraffes, they had standard necks, called ‘Twiga.’

One day, God talked to every animal about their roles on earth.

When called Twiga, she stretched her neck towards heaven so she could hear every word God said.

Pleased with the effort, God rewarded her with a long neck.

It helped her to reach the highest branch of the trees for food.

Besides, the Giraffes are believed to have the extraordinary power to talk to God and check out heaven.

Giraffe spirit animal characteristics and qualities

When he goes to sleep, he kneels first, wraps his neck around himself, and places his head between his legs.

Giraffe’s extraordinarily flexible body is not uncomfortable and evokes yoga positions.

By the way, because it is kneeling, it evokes a body that prays more than a sleeping body.

They have an anatomical feature that the distance between their heads and hearts does not reduce the blood pumped to the brain.

Numerous valves in the blood vessel circulatory system prevent the backflow of blood.

Also, turning his neck frequently keeps his blood pressure under control.

When harmony and balance are needed between thoughts that fill the brain and those felt from the heart, the Giraffe will come to guide as a power animal.

What are a Giraffe’s personality and traits?

Giraffes are very gentle animals and love to live in peace.

Most Giraffes live in groups of 10 to 20 Giraffes, called towers.

Unlike most other animals, they do not mind if a new Giraffe comes to their tower or an existing member leaves. Everyone is free to do what they want to.

However, the long neck of Giraffes helps them to find food, as well as look for predators.

The neck enables them to have a comprehensive view around them.

They travel miles every day to find food.

Interestingly, Giraffes only sleep approximately 5 to 25 minutes a day. They take a quick nap of around five minutes.

People believed that Giraffes could not make sounds as none heard them communicating. But scientists have found that they can.

We can not hear them because their sound frequency is too low for humans to hear.

The three horns on the top of its head, which are very small compared to its body, are the Giraffe’s defense weapon.

With these, he can deal devastating blows to his enemy.

One of his horns is hardly visible because it is hidden under the skin just above his eyes.

This horn is in the same place as the third eye in humans.

It represents that the person to whom he comes as a power animal will increase his clairvoyant ability.
