THE TALLEST ANIMAL IN THE WORLD: Researched by Maria Olsht, 5c


Giraffe

There are many animals in the world. I want to tell about giraffes. It is the tallest animal - giraffes can be 6 meters tall.

Giraffes are mammals, because they have babies and feed them on milk. The baby giraffe is called a calf. Baby giraffes can stand within half an hour and after only 10 hours can run with their family. Newborns are about 2 m tall and weigh 70 kg.

Giraffe has got brown spots and yellow skin. They also have got long legs. Giraffe’s front legs are longer than its back legs. Giraffe’s tongue is 50 centimeters long - a giraffe can clean its own ears with it . They have a sloping back and very long neck.

Giraffes can walk long distances. They are fast - they can run 35 miles an hour. Giraffes can easily drink 55 liters of water. They spend a lot of their time eating! They eat more than 45 kg of leaves and twigs a day. Giraffes can run fast. Giraffes usually sleep around 2 hours a day1

I think giraffe is a wonderful animal. They are very intelligent. I like giraffes very much.
