    Which part of the giraffe is filled with gas though?.

    Are we talking about a cube that is drawn around the giraffe for it’s volume or are we talking about the volume of the giraffe if you submerge it in wter and measure the displaced volume?

      No part, thats why I said hypothetical. But it’s the only way to make sense of the claim that volume Vs mass is an issue.

      Hopefully we’re not imagining halving the bounding box around the giraffe including the air
