How would you like to learn about giraffes? I guarantee you'll get smarter. First of all,
giraffes are my favorite animal. I'll make sure that if you learn anything it WILL be true. Well, I
hope that you have a great time learning about giraffes and have fun.
Have you ever wondered about giraffes? Do they hold any world records? A giraffe is a
mammal with many brown spots. It has a thick coat of hair going down it's back, that is called
the main. Giraffes are in world record books because they are the tallest mammals and they are
the fourth heaviest mammals in the world. Female giraffes are very protective of their calves.
Are you as excited about these mammals as I am?
Where do you find them? Giraffes need warmth, lots of trees, and water. They live in
hot savannas in southern Africa. Their environment is intermediate between a grassland and a
forest. Savannas are located in dry tropics and subtropics. Ok. So you know where they live.
Let’s find out more. Ok?
Giraffes live in savannas which are a flat type of grass land. When you are looking at a
savanna, you’ll see that they have a few little ponds for drinking, some trees that have leaves
for the animals to eat, and some short or tall grasses. Savannas are a good place for giraffes to
live in because it provides then with food and other things they need to help them survive. So
that is pretty much where giraffes live and what the habitat looks like. I have one more thing.
Would you ever take a giraffe home? Well, would you?
Did you ever wonder what giraffes eat? Do they eat other animals? Do they eat grass or
trees? Well, now is your chance to find out. Giraffes have very long necks. Their long necks help
them reach leaves on high trees which they eat. Giraffes use their long spread legs and long
necks to stretch down low to eat grass and drink water. Giraffes can go several days without
drinking water. Why you ask, because the leaves they eat keep them hydrated. Did you know
they also eat insects and flowers? So pretty much, giraffes only eat insects, grass, leaves, and
flowers, and they only drink water and sometimes when they are calves, they have to drink
milk.
Ah!!!! There’s a predator coming after me! The giraffe’s only predator is the lion. When
a lion is near a giraffe, the giraffe usually fights back. A giraffe uses its long, two front legs to
kick the lion and scare it away. On the top of their heads are their two knobs the giraffe could
also use as defense. Lions want to eat calves because they think their meat is a lot more tasty.
They want calves because they are easier to get to out in the open. Usually, the lion gets the
giraffe before the giraffe gets the lion. Well, its sounds good to the lions but me, not in this life
time!
Giraffes are highly adapted to their environment. A giraffe’s neck is long so they can
reach the leaves. Their body has long legs to help them drink water from down below. They live
in a very safe and healthy environment to help them grow up healthy and strong. I told you,
giraffes are highly adapted to their environment because of their long necks and long legs.
As you can see, giraffes are a wonderful animal found in the savannas in Africa. They travel in
large, unorganized herds in Africa's savannas and peacefully graze in the soft grasses. The parents try to
keep their calves safe by protecting them. It doesn't matter how many spots it has but they all have their
own unique patterns just like your finger prints. Well, no matter where or who you are, you can always
say “Giraffes, what great animals“!
