Giraffes

yes they are herbivores so they eat plants only

According to the national Zoo, giraffes only sleep for about a half-hour a day. This time is typically broken up into about six, five-minute naps. They require less sleep than any other mammal.

The giraffe has one of the shortest sleep requirements of any mammal, which is between 10 minutes and two hours in a 24-hour period, averaging 1.9 hours per day.

They need their long necks and legs to get their food. They eat leaves off of (tall) trees. Giraffes evolved from shorter animals, because the ability to eat leaves that most animals could not reach gave them a survival advantage.

Giraffe's usually inhabit Savannas and Grasslands that are abundant in trees like Acacia, Commiphora, Combretum etc. They browse on twigs of tree, preferringt he Acacia, Commiphora and Terminalia. They also feed on grass and fruits. They dont prefer grass much because, they have to bend down to graze, which isnt so easy if we consider its size. A giraffe eats around 65 pounds (around 30 kilos) of vegetation daily, but during lean periods, they can survive with around 15 pounds.

yes

The Toys"R"Us giraffe's name is Geoffrey.

Totally a elephant because of their rough skin and all the fat

Giraffes have a parasitic relationship. the Ox-Pecker birds peck the ticks of giraffes. It is a parasitic relationship because the Ox-Peckers can feed of the ticks and/or make the giraffe bleed externally

Yes, the front legs of a giraffe are slightly longer than the hind legs. If you look at a picture of a giraffe taken from the side, you can see that. The shoulders are higher up than the hips, and the back slants upward from the hips to the shoulders.

Giraffes have four stomachs to help them digest food. Leaves and plants are the main diet of the giraffe. They are hard to digest, and the four stomachs give them longer digestion times.

the giraffe is scared of it's praetor the tiger, the loin; etc yea!

That's an irrational fear, seeing tigers and giraffes don't live on the same continent...

Lions are the giraffes main natural enemy, but baby giraffes are in danger from many other animals.

the sparrow has smaller but more and the giraffe has big and less

It's height allows it to reach the leaves of tall trees. They can only eat the leaves, so if they were not very tall, they would not be able to survive. Sent by henry. x

The leaves on acacia trees are small to help reduce the loss of water from the tree. The relatively small surface area of the leaf means that less water is lost as opposed to if the leaf was large. This is very important because acacia trees usually grow is dry climates.

okapis have a round stomach and has sturdy stick like legs

I guess scales, claws, teeth, spikes, camouflage, fur, tails, and anything in between.

1)Long Neck enables them to reach high branches, spot predators easily. They also fight with their necks

2) Brain has one way valves to prevent it filling with blood when giraffe bends down, thus causing brain damage

3) Tounge long and prehensile. allows the giraffee to eat from very prickly branches

4) Young are k-selected and able to walk from birth to avoid predators. Mothers give birth standing up for the same reason

5) Rumination to allow the stomach to digest high levels of cellulose and tough leaves, through 4 stomach chambers

6) Can survive for weeks without drinking, gaining enough fluid through dew on vegetation

Like all the other weevils, the giraffe weevil is a beetle, and thus, belongs to the class Hexapoda.

Giraffes don't estivate or hibernate. They keep on with their regular Life pretty much no matter what.

animals are not really that different than human beings. like we have different finger prints, they have different markings. no other giraffe has the same. human beings all look different and all animals lokk different. hope that helps!!!!

girafe de bébé

A giraffe's tongue is 18 to 20 inches long and blue-black colored. Some people think the color is to keep the tongue from getting sunburned.

== == Normally, female giraffes only have one calf. Twins are very rare. ONE.

Yes. They do everyday, as soon as they're born. If you mean can they stand on their hind legs, they don't have to because they have longs necks.
