Question

A

      The giraffe is the tallest modern land animal. It can be over 5. 5 meters tall. Its neck alone may be 1. 9 meters long. Yet the giraffe has only seven bones in its neck,the same number as in the human's. Even a small bird has many more bones in its neck than a tall giraffe. Each bone in a giraffe's neck is very long,while the bones in a human's neck are short. That makes the difference. A female giraffe gives birth to one baby at a time. The baby,called a calf,is about 1. 9 meters tall at birth. By the age of eight it is full-grown. The giraffe eats mostly leaves. Because it has a long neck,it can reach the leaves high up on the trees.
