Giraffes

11

Giraffe's are the tallest land animals on earth. They are well known for their extremely long neck and legs. It is around 5 to 6 meters tall (Around 16 to 20 feet). Males are usually taller and heavier than females. A male giraffe can weigh an average of around 1200 kilograms (2600 pounds) while females weigh an average of around 830 kilograms (1800 pounds)

Yes. Male giraffes tend to be taller, have larger bumps between their eyes, and the "horns" on their head are larger.

Gestation in a Giraffe Mother lasts for around 400 to 460 days. This works out to nearly 13 to 15 months of pregnancy. Baby Giraffe's are born after nearly 400+ days of preganancy. At birth, they are around 6 feet tall. That is 1.8 meters height at birth. They weigh around 100 to 150 pounds at birth

A giraffe's predators are animals like lions, spotted hyenas, leopards and crocodiles, who will all take giraffe calves when the opportunity arises. Adult giraffes are very large animals, and the only predators capable of taking them on are lions. By working together, they are able to kill adult giraffes, but this is not very common - a giraffe's kick can kill a lion, and they usually prefer to hunt less dangerous prey.

A common length of the esophagus of a giraffe is about 40 inches. That compares to about 8 to 10 inches in a human being.

It possess 7 vertebrae in neck .

The things on the top of the giraffes head is called Ossicones. (Also called horn)

Another thing about the ossicones is that some believe the horns are cooling towers and release heat. Others that it's just a way to protect their heads.

Well you see first an adult Male and Female Zebra mate then after 12 months the baby Zebra is born. After a few days the mother keeps the baby from other Zebras so the baby can get to know her stripes. After that they join the heard after that after about 3 years the baby is now a full adult. Now that former baby zebra is now in the stage of its life to mate then the whole reproduction cycle starts again!

Giraffes are migratory plains animals, and sleep in the open. They do not have homes or nests.

yes of course! because females have longer hair than the males.

A swan's neck is proportional to its body. There are three different types of swan which is the Trumpeter Swan, Mute Swan and Tundra Swan.

Due to their size they have relatively few natural predators. Lions will prey on adult giraffes, however calves are more vulnerable and can fall prey to leopards, spotted hyenas and wild dogs. When taking water from streams, giraffes are also vulnerable to crocodiles.
Lions, wild dogs, and maybe hyenas
