All About Giraffes

All About Giraffes

Giraffes (or Giraffa Camelopardalis) are one of the most interesting animals for me. Everybody know them but not as well as they could. Read the following and you will learn all the thing you didn't know about giraffes The giraffe's defense mechanism is pretty interesting. She/he lives usually with a flock so in each 'battle' every single individual must be 'aware' of the danger because they can hit the person or animal ,that is trying to attack, with great speed and force. Also they can kick pretty hard so you should be aware! Giraffes are not predators. Te eat leaves from the trees and they don't have any problem (obviously) reaching them because of their long, long neck which is 6 feet tall (although some giraffes have reached the high score to 10 feet)  Also they don't have any of water for some days because they obtain water from the leaves. Isn't that amazing!? Giraffes leave in herds because they need each other for defense and they leave no more that 25 years. One last thing to know is that they are often hunted by animals and people but it is not so usual from animals.
I hope you enjoyed it and it refreshed your memory  or you learned something!
