do giraffes get the hiccups?
Do giraffes experience hiccups? If so, what are the potential causes, and how do they differ from hiccups in other animals?

not exactly. Hiccups originate in the diaphragm, but in the case of a giraffe, the hiccups fizzle out before it can fully get thru their long neck, much like a muffler on a car's pipe
Perhaps not but it could get indigestion trying to swallow food down it's long neck.
