Identification :
One of the most interesting animals in the zoo is the giraffe. This is giraffe
we see at the zoo. It is male and it is about six meters tall.
Description :
The giraffe has big brown eyes. They are protected by very thick lashes.
This giraffe has brown spots on the skin. This coloring helps protect the
giraffe. It also has two short horns on its head.
Like a camel, it can go for a long time without drinking water. One source
of water is the leave which it eats from trees. It is tall, so the giraffe can
reach the tender leaves at the top of a tree.
The giraffe has two methods of self protection. If something frightens an
adult giraffe, it can gallop away at about fifty kilometers per hour or stay
to fight with its strong legs.
