Giraffes

yes they can sleep

If the ants were removed from the acacia tree the trees would be stripped of their leaves by elephants. The ants serve as a defense mechanism for the trees.

Yes, they sleep about 9 minutes per day.

After a 14-15 month pregnancy, a giraffe gives birth to a baby who is about 6 feet tall. Since the mama giraffe's birth canal is about 6 feet off the ground, the baby slides out feet first and flops over. This is a good thing. Its like the doctor slapping a human baby's feet to get her breathing.

Giraffes protect their young by keeping them underneath them all the time and they kick predators.

Giraffes must have long necks to adapt to there environment. Long necks help to get the leaves up tall in the trees where no animals cqn reach high enough to grab the leaves or fruit up in the branches. Long tongues help to grip there food while they grab it from the trees. By wrapping there long tongues around the leaves they can reach higher than there neck can reach as there tongues can are so long they can clean out there ears with them. I am training to be a zoologist and we have learnt about these things already. Giraffes also live on fruits and berries as well as leaves. A calm environment can keep the giraffe living for a long period of time as they have no stress. Giraffes are naturally calm animals and are suited to that environment.

Normally they do not, however, when they are suffering from nutrient deficiency they may resort to eating feces.

Giraffes hear the same thing anything else can hear. If a lion were to growl as it pounced on said giraffe(s), the giraffe(s) will hear it. Otherwise, they hear anything within their hearing range.

it is 2 feet long.... and weighs about 25 pounds:P

As in human beings there are seven. A giraffe's are much larger

Due to their sheer size, adult Giraffe's are not vulnerable to predators like leopards, hyenas, wild dogs etc. However, large lion packs headed by large Adult Male lions have been known to hunt down a full grown giraffe. But, this is very rare. On the other hand, calf's are very vulnerable to predators. A lion pack can easily kill a giraffe calf or even an adolescent. Hyena and wild doc packs too are known to prey on giraffe calves.

There are many other animals in the African plains that like to eat the same plants as giraffes. Because of this they need a long neck so when the other animals eat the leaves closer to the ground(as high as they can reach), there will be plenty of leaves , up high, for the giraffes to eat.

it's longer then a humans but they both have 7 vertabraes

The giraffe has the same number of bones that of a human in the backbone, 33.

No.

Dinosaurs are a type of archosaurian reptile. Their only desendants alive today are birds.

Giraffe are ungulates or 'hoofed' mammals. They are disendent for the same type of animal as horses and cammels.

Answer: From what I understand A giraffe cannot run down hill because the way the animals weight is distributed (much heavier in the front than back) it would topple over. Giraffes will actually (again this is from my understanting) walk for miles around a hill just to avoid the otherwise, inevitable fall down it. Though giraffes have the same number of vertabre in there neck as humans (7) the neck is not the same proportionally in relation to its build as that of a human. Tha anatomy of the animal must be taken into consideration.

Giraffes do not originate from one specific country. There originate from the continent of Africa. Today, the giraffe's natural habitats can be found in the following countries:

Botswana

Cameroon

Central African Republic

Chad

Democratic Republic of the Congo

Ethiopia

Kenya

Mali

Namibia

Rwanda

South Sudan

Tanzania

Togo

Uganda

Zambia

Zimbabwe

The rhino's closest relative is tapirs and horses. The rhino belongs to a group of hooved animals called ungulates.

That is why the rhino is called the "river horse ".

yes masai giraffes have been proven to be endangered

giraffes are most commonly found in herds of 4-7 . it is not common that they are alone unless one has wandered from the group. but they would eventually find their way back.

The head giraffe.

There is no other name for an emu. It is an Australian flightless bird. It is not an ostrich, or a cassowary, or a kiwi. It is just an emu.

Heterotrophic

Well some live in zoos all over the world, but naturally they live mostly in the continent of Africa.

Giraffes can spend their whole lives in a zoo, if they're raised in captivity. Giraffes live for about 25 years.
