Giraffes, incredible animals ..!

The giraffe is a fascinating being, of great size and beauty, you must respect these beautiful animals and their spaces, for their conservation

The main activity of giraffes is eating, and like cows, they also regurgitate food. They have to eat many kilos of food a week, so they must make large migrations in order to find the food they need.

But not everything was going to be advantages. Height can also be a disadvantage. When it comes to drinking in a well or a pond, they have to lower their huge neck, so they are exposed to predators like the jaguar.

But giraffes only drink every few days, since most of the water they need is obtained from the leaves they eat.

Each giraffe is unique in the world, they have their own pattern of spots, which helps researchers to identify them both in the wild and in captivity. These spots vary in size, shape and even color. The males have them darker and have no hair on the top of their horns.

It is often believed that giraffes are among the calmest animals in the world. They make some basic sounds, but not very often. It is believed that most of their communication takes place in shades so low that humans can not hear.

The giraffe females give birth standing, and the calf falls to a height of 1.5 meters immediately after birth. After half an hour they can stand up, and at 10 am they can run with their mother.

Giraffes can live in their natural environment for 20 to 25 years with the right conditions. They sleep for a short time, around 2 hours a day in periods of about 10 minutes. They almost always do it upright, with the exception of the weak and the younger.
