		Giraffa camelopardalis: The Giraffe ^Votes:0 A Curious Giraffe GIRAFFE (Giraffa camelopardalis) ORDER : Artiodactyla FAMILY : Giraffidae GENUS : Giraffa SPECIES : camelopardalis reticulata " Giraffes are superbly adapted to exploit a food source that is out of reach for other hooved animals. They feed almost entirely on leaves of acacia, mimosa, and wild apricot trees. The 18-inch tongue is wrapped around a branch and as the head is pulled away, leaves are stripped off. To reach the ground a giraffe must spread its forelegs widely and well to the front or bend at the knees. They are vulnerable to lion predation when lying down, ground feeding or drinking. Giraffes usually sleep standing up but do lie down occasionally. Extreme height provides giraffes with an excellent range of vision. Females may be 14-15 feet tall and males 15-17 f Read More Go to Site

		Giraffe ^Votes:0 Giraffe Giraffa camelopardalis The world's tallest animal, a giraffe can easily look into a second-storey window. Its height, which can be up to 4 m, allows it to browse on high foliage, as well as to employ its highly developed sense of sight to see farther than any terrestrial creature. This "bird's-eye view" is also the animal's principal defence against predators, allowing it to spot danger. Their buff-coloured hide, with spots of darker brown, provides excellent camouflage, which is another aid to their survival. The movement and position of the animal's neck are used to express emotion. When it is angry, a giraffe will lower its neck until it is almost horizontal. In submission, it stretches its neck and raises its nose in the air. Home Discover Nature! Natural History Note Read More Go to Site

Males may be 16-18 feet tall and weigh up to 2,000 pounds. Females are usually lighter and about two feet shorter. The giraffe's front legs are only slightly longer than the back ones, the height of the fore part of the body being largely due to the heavy muscular development of the base of the neck. The long neck has the usual seven vertebrae of most mammals, although each is greatly elongated. The giraffe's soup-plate-sized hooves are used as offensive weapons, usually in the defense of the calves. The power Read More Go to Site

		Giraffe ^Votes:0 Giraffe The giraffe lives in the Sahara in South Africa in the openwoodlands. They eat leaves, twigs, and fruit off of trees and bushes.They also eat leaves on high trees that other animals can not reach.There are lots of animals that eat leaves so the giraffe had to eatfood that the other animals could not reach. The woodlands had lotsof trees and animals. The Giraffe is tall because of its legs. Giraffes are tall so theycan reach food on tall trees. A giraffe's coat has patchlike markings of tawny tochestnut-brown. Their lines that separate the patches are lightertawny or white. This helps protect giraffes by making them hard tosee when they are standing next to trees. They need to be hard to seebecause the other animals like lions will try to eat them.

		Giraffes ^Votes:0 GIRAFFES Lions are giraffes chief predators. A giraffe has only 7 vertebrae (bony segments of the spine) in its neck - each one is 0.3m (1 ft) long. Giraffes usually sleep in a standing position, and protect themselves by kicking. Herds of two to ten members, led by an adult bull, contain cows, calves, and immature males. A giraffe has a strange way of fighting other giraffes - they push each other neck, to neck. Giraffes inhabit dry, tree-scattered land south of the African Sahara. They do not migrate during dry seasons because they get their food and most of their moisture from high tree leaves. The few times giraffes do drink, they must spread their long forelegs wide to reach the water. Due to the great distance between the animal's heart and head, its vascular system is equipped with Read More Go to Site
