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! ๐
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.
Do giraffes have long necks, or long torsos?
Yeah, the first one obviously.
It's posts like this that just reinforce the idea that centaurs are freaky creatures.
Why a six-limbed creature? Actual mammals have at most 4 limbs. What does it eat? Is the stomach a horse stomach or a human stomach? Does the human head have to eat 15 kilograms of grass per day, munching it inefficiently with its human teeth? Can it just blend it up and drink vast quantities of smoothies instead? Are the centaur's front limbs massively strong, unlike a horse, because it has to support a whole secondary torso right at the front of its body? Does the whole body have the same notoriously finnicky immune system and fragility of a horse? Where's the heart, is it in the human chest or the horse chest? If it is running hard will it be the human chest that's panting, using those tiny lungs to power an entire body? Or is there just an air tube down through the useless human chest all the way to the horse's mighty lungs? If the lungs being used are the horse ones, what's all that room in the human chest being used for?
The centaur diet consists mostly of meat, so they require fewer plants to survive. But plants are very good for their health, preferably root and leafy plants over grains, nuts, and fruits, but they can still enjoy any diet.
Centaurs used to prefer to eat only raw meat and alcohol, but after contact with humans they developed a cooking culture, preferring methods like spit roasts over methods like boiling, but they still enjoy a good stew.
Foods that are toxic or harmful to horses but not to humans are not a problem for centaurs, such as garlic, onions, avocado, chocolate, bread, dairy, and the brassica cultivars.
The upper torsos of centaurs have secondary lungs and a second small heart that help support their brain and make it less likely that they'll faint during heavy activity, with an esophagus leading to the stomach and a thick trachea leading to larger lungs, both on the second torso.
Their esophagus moves food faster than a human esophagus does, so eating something sharp that could scratch their esophagus is more harmful to them, so it's more important for them to really chew their food well. Unlike horses, centaurs can vomit.
Their upper torso has none of the other vital organs humans have in that area, leaving more room for muscles, which gives them their massive upper body strength. When a centaur appears to have a belly, there's no interintestinal fat there; it's all abdominal fat.
The lower torso has all other main vital organs, and a larger heart and lungs similar to those of horses, and the thicker trachea allows them to breathe faster. Centaurs often have large nostrils and a slightly elongated face to allow for faster airflow.
Their livers are more similar in function to those of humans and sledge dogs, giving them high endurance. They can run without rest far longer than any other creatures they know.
Their lymphatic and blood system, on the other hand, is more similar to that of horses.
Unlike humans, centaurs do not lose muscle mass due to lack of activity, mostly due to illness or lack of nutrition.
There are some variations depending on what 'taur' is their lower body, but these are the common traits shared among all tauric species.
6 limbs implies that centaurs are insects.
The human-looking part is probably just a lure, like those deep-sea lantern fish. A human gets close enough to investigate and the insect pounces.
This post changed me.

Only correct answer.
Centaurworld is probably one of the best Netflix shows
My wife and I frequently bond over a mutual hatred of giraffes. I think this meme just got me laid tonight
I'm glad you two monsters found each other. I hope your kids grow up to love giraffes.
There's a 3d option available:
I... what the fuck am I looking at... ?
Please draw a diagram of this creature's digestive system for me. Also their spinal structure.
Yeah... the Smiles are pretty fucked up.
So I am an expert in alternative digestive systems. It loops down into the human then back up into the geraffe. That's so the human segment can be vomited at a predator as a defense mechanism m
Number 2 would fall over.
Right now a giraffe needs 600lbs of neck muscle to hold up a 50 lb head on a 6 foot lever.
There is no way the giraffe's neck could hold a regular human torso. Forget a proportional one. It's not possible.
Picture for scale. A regular human torso would look comically small on top of a giraffe.
What about very developed neck flap sails
Right one seems more correct, but the human part shouldn't have stripes.
centaur have human shoulders and neck and head. And horse body without neck&head
so the first one is right, except with human neck
You have to have the long neck, or it's not a giraffe man thing
Edit: A giraftaur
Ps everyone should go watch centaurworld. It's a masterpiece.
Why would the giraffe have a 6 foot torso?
Yeah, what's going on inside there?
I don't like it. But it's probably #2. Centaurs replace the neck of the base animal with a human torso.
