Scientists have long believed that giraffes are mostly silent and communicate only visually with one another. But biologist Angela Stoger and her team analyzed hundreds of hours of recordings of giraffes in three European zoos and found that giraffes make a very low-pitched humming sound. The researchers claim that the giraffes use these sounds to communicate when it's not possible for them to signal one another visually.
