      Red! It has to be the same as ours…. I know because I’ve seen the result of two giraffes fighting and it was pretty bloody and gruesome. But they use the same oxygen carrying molecules that we do – haemoglobin. But they must have a supercharged heart to get the blood up that tall neck.

      I haven’t seen giraffe’s blood before, but I’d say that it’s also red, as ours! Some insects have green blood, just because instead of haemoglobin molecules (the ones that carry oxygen in the blood and are made of iron) they have haemocyanin (same oxygen carries, but made of copper). It’s all about the Chemistry!
