Gestation. Giraffes are pregnant for a period between 14 and 15 months, or 453 to 464 days, one of longest gestation periods in the animal kingdom. Giraffes usually give birth to one offspring at a time, although twins are born occasionally. Because the gestation period is so long, the giraffe won't give birth to another baby for 16 months or more.
Gestation and Birth. Gestation for giraffes is one of the longest of any mammals, between 425 and 465 days or about 15 months. There's no specific breeding season and dad doesn't stick around to help with the rearing of the baby. When it comes time to give birth, mom will find a private spot and give birth alone.
