The blood pressure of a Giraffe is over double that of the ‘human standard’ (120/80). The tallest land mammal on earth requires the highest mammal blood pressure on earth to sustain its brain, far up above the ground.
And when adult Giraffe want to rest, they usually sit down and keep their head up in the air, not to risk high pressure damage to their brain.
Whenever they have to lower their head they do it only for short periods of time for the same reason.
