Some animals in the world are very small.and the others are very big.Giraffes are one of the tallest and most interesting animals.Male giraffes are usually about six meters tall.Half of the giraffe’s height conies from its neck.which is longer than its legs.

      A giraffe has big brown eyes which are protected by very thick lashes (睫毛).Since it lives in parts of Africa which are usually dry with a great deal of dust,the lashes are an important source of protection.It can also cover its nostrils(鼻孔) in order to protect its nose.It has brown spots on tan skin and this coloring helps protect the giraffe.The giraffe also has tⅥo short horns on its head.

    Like the camel.the giraffe can go a long way without drinking water.One source of water is the leaves which the giraffe eats from trees.Since it is so tail.the giraffe can reach the tender(嫩的)leaves at the top of a tree.

    Giraffes usually live in small herds and often feed with other animals.A baby giraffe is two meters tall at birth.It can stand up by itself within a few minutes and run well in about two days.
