Sapphire GIRAFARIG’s rear head contains a tiny brain that is too small for thinking. However, the rear head doesn’t need to sleep, so it can keep watch over its surroundings 24 hours a day.
Emerald A GIRAFARIG is an herbivore--it eats grass and tree shoots. While it is eating, its tail makes chewing and swallowing motions as if it were also eating.
Diamond Its tail also has a small brain. It bites to repel any foe trying to sneak up on it from behind.
