    False dichotomy.

    Centraur is when the neck of an quadruped animal gets its neck replaced by an human upper body… So the giraffe centaur would have neither a long human stomach, nor a long human neck.

    It is reductionism to say that something isn’t a giraffe, if it doesn’t have a long neck part. Shame on you! 😉

      Yeah. Everyone knows giraffe centaurs share the ears and ossicones of giraffes, but not their long necks and legs.
      It’s more like the ancestors of giraffes that had not elongated yet. Oh, and pretty long tongues too.
