                             The giraffe 

   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 humans. Even a small bird has many more bones in its neck than in a tall giraffe. Each bone in a giraffe's neck is very long,while the bones in a human's neck are small. 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 can live for 30 years. It is good at running. It can run 30 kilometers per hour. The giraffe likes to live together,usually 7 — 10 a group. It eats mostly leaves. Because it has a long neck,it can reach the leaves high up on the trees.
