More record-breakers and oddballs: sloth, narwhal, chameleon, electric eel, giraffe, sentence 1

A giraffe's neck looks as if it must have extra bones, but it has 7, exactly as many as yours; each one is just very long, up to about 25 cm, longer than a new pencil.

Who acts: neck, one · What happens: look, have, be · To what, where: extra bones, 7
