The Giraffe
My science project is on Giraffes. The Giraffe is the tallest
mammal in the world. Giraffes have very long necks with a short,
upstanding mane, high shoulders which slope steeply, and long legs that are
nearly equal in length. The male weight can range to 2420-4250, and the
female can range to 1540-2600. The Giraffes can stand up to 18 feet long.
They mostly live and come from sub-Sahara Africa. Giraffes are
herbivores, and their long necks help them to reach the leaves and shoots
of thorny acacia trees.
The Giraffes scientific name is camelopardalis....
