Zelimir, and nowadays giraffes have adapted better to digest siderites (which they have to do, to keep the iron in the knobs of their antennas fresh). That's the reason, why we find substantially less irons in Africa than in Australia.

Tom, Obviously the giraffe swallowed a couple of siderites before it was demised by the Chixculob (or alike) tsumani. This exotic example therefore is to learn us one more feature: some 65 MY ago (and perhaps still now ?), giraffes did not digest very readily siderites....A valuable observation for Science...
