| Giraffe |
Habitat
Savanna with high proportion of Acacia species.
Although they are one of the favorite prey of Lion, very often the predator will come
off second best, as Giraffe can deliver devastating blows with their forelegs.
Fighting amongst Giraffe bulls is not uncommon, and is limited to an alternate
strike at each other with their heads. Giraffe associate, very often, with Impala,
Baboons, Zebra, and Wildebeest. Although they have an extremely long neck, it has
the same amount of vertebrae as any other mammal, but they are very a elongated
and attached to one another with ball and socket joints. Giraffe have a massive
heart, with the walls more than 7 Cm thick, in order to pump the about 5.5 meters
and weigh about 1500 Kg. Their lifespan is about 20 years. Male giraffe can attain a
height of about 5.5 meters and weigh about 1500 Kg. Their lifespan is about 20
years.
Giraffe are browsers. Eats soil to obtain minerals and very commonly chews bones,
especially in areas where the soil is deficient in phosphorus.
They give birth for the first time at about 6 years of age, to a single calf, that after a
couple of hours is able to follow his mother. The gestation period is 450 to 457 days.
Birth weight is 100 Kg and shoulder height of a newborn is 1.5 meters.
