Sometimes they have to do some important businesses
in many different towns on the same day. To overcome
this, we need the fastest mean of transportation. The
best choice is to travel by air.

Bouraq are some of the Indonesian Airlines. Each
offers the best facilities to the passengers.

destination than to travel on the road.
You have to buy a ticket first before you travel
by plane. You can get the tickets in the tickets agencies
which are easy to get now.

    Most people don’t notice that giraffes have
different patterns of spots. Certain species of giraffes
have small spots. Other species have large spots. Some
species have spots than are very regular. You can tell
where one spot ends and another begins.
   Other species have spots that are kind of blotchy.
This means the spots are not set off from each other as
clearly. These are only two of many kind of spots. The
pattern of giraffe’s spots is called “marking”. No two
giraffes have exactly the same marking.
   Giraffe’s spots help them to blend in with their
surroundings in Africa where they live. Being able to
blend with surroundings helps animals survive. If a
lion can’t see a giraffe, he certainly can’t eat it. This is
called ‘protective coloration’. The animal’s colour
helps to protect it.
   Another thing that protects giraffes is their keen
eyesight. Their large eyes are on the sides of their
heads. Giraffes see anything that moves. They can see
another animal a mile away. It is very hard to sneak up
on a giraffe. Those who try usually get a quick kick
with a powerful back leg.
