Giraffe Story

Hi! We will be talking about giraffes today, and I have my friend Ralph the monkey with me to help.

Did you know that there are 4 species of giraffe? They are the northern, southern, reticulated, and Masai giraffe.

That's sad, I didn't know they were at risk like that.

When they do drink, they can only move their necks to reach the top of the water. However, this can only happen after they have bent their legs.

Many giraffes also don't drink water every day. Even when it is readily available, they may go days without it.

Giraffes also have a heart rate of about 40-90 beats each minute.

Can you run that fast too?

That's really fascinating!

Thank you for reading this comic!

What do they do when it rains?

Finally, many people think giraffes don't make any noise, but they actually do! The sound is just outside the range of what humans hear.

That is really cool!

Giraffes can also run about 35 miles an hour!

Of course!!!

Giraffes used to widely roam the savannah. Now, the remaining ones face many challenges.
