Giraffes

Giraffes are the worlds tallest mammals. They can run at te speed of 35 miles per hour. Giraffes are herbivores, which means they do not eat meat. There diets come from tall trees. A giraffe eats 100 pounds of leaves a week! Having to travel to find its food.

Giraffes grow to there full height after four years. But gain their weight after seven to eight years.

Giraffes are locationed in parts of Africa. They are hunted for their meat, coat, and tail. They Nubian giraffe is the most endangered type. Giraffes are the most threated, they can not defend they selves very well from hunters and predators.

The giraffes travel as a community. Usually 20 giraffes per group, who take care of each other. When a calf is born, it is put into a nursery with all the other babies.

Giraffes enjoy walking in grasslands. For the most part they very calm animals, but on occasions they will butt necks and heads. These “fights” are mostly for fun, and end with one giraffe walking away.

I find giraffes very intresting because they are very cool animals. They are super tall and super pretty. Ever since I was little I just always loved giraffes.
