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.
giraffes are not that strong for their size however, a kick from a giraffe to a lion can kill it easily.
something interesting, huh? Well, let me see... Giraffes have special One Way valves in their neck so that when they drink, all of the blood in it's body doesn't flow to its head. That way it can drink for many hours. I would like to add on to his/hers. Giraffes can spend over an hour making sure there are no lions (their main predator) around, because when they lean down to drink is their weakest position. This is one of the very few times a lion will dare to approach an adult giraffe. A giraffes favorite food comes from the Acacia tree (Check my spelling on that one). One blow from the kick of a giraffe can kill a lion. They run about 35 miles per hour. When males fight, they do so by swinging their heads and necks at the other. I believe females grow to be 17-19 feet tall. that's all I can think of from the top of my head =)
A mountain zebra has 44 long sharp teeth. The front teeth are sharp to allow the zebra to easily break grass and the back teeth are used to crush food.
Is this how you spell giraffe?
Hey there,
Well, in English, you can use many words (including 'giraffe') in a sentence. Here, I am going to give you some examples of sentences that contain the word 'giraffe'.
Here they are:
1) When I went to the zoo, I saw a lovely giraffe, the color of oranges, and beautifully spotted like an orange dress with polka-dots. (A/N, this is a descriptive sentence. I think your teacher/professor or whoever will enjoy and be impressed with this one! :) )
2) In my animal book, it is said that giraffes a gentle animals with long, slender necks so they can munch on their leaf lunches. (A/N, I love the end of this sentence! "Munch on their leaf lunches." It rhymes, you think? :P)
3) I wished for a pet giraffe ever since I was four years old, because I wanted to ride on its back and hop onto a tree like a monkey. (A/N, OK, so this one is a bit babyish, but hey!)
4) Today, I made a comic about a superhero named 'Super Giraffe!', because he is really tall. (A/N, sorry if this one is short. :/)
Well, that's about all I can think of! I hope you do use one of them in your ... essay or story or whatever.
Thanks in advance! :)
Why do giraffe have long muscular neck and long flexible tongue?
They have to have flexible tongues to reach the leaves on top of a tall tree. And also to pick their boogers too. Gross rite? i hope this helps
Yes but they are on their snout. They look like two holes.
How and why have giraffes evolved?
Giraffes have evolved to exploit a particular ecological niche, which is, that they graze on tree leaves, which few animals are tall enough to reach. Whenever you have a niche that is not being exploited, that creates an evolutionary opportunity. There are many different animals that graze on grass, for example, so there is competition to eat the grass before some other species eats it, but leaves that are high off the ground are grazed on by very few animals (not counting insects, which are another matter - in any confrontation between a giraffe and an insect, the giraffe has a clear advantage).
