Giraffe is the highest animal in the world. Its height can reach 4.8 to 5.5
meters and its weight about 1360 pounds. Giraffe has a unique characteristic.
They have a very long neck and two small horns on its head. Giraffes have big
brown eyes and protected by thick and long eyebrows. Her body is covered
with a unique pattern that is attached by brown spots all over their body.

Just like camels, giraffes can survive without drinking for long time
because giraffes can rely on the water contained in leaves they eat. Giraffes
are very selective in choosing food. They always eat young leaves that grow
in the tree tops. Their tongue shaped like a knife help them to cut branches
which are very hard.

Female giraffes can start pregnant at the age of five years, with a
gestation period of 15 months. Commonly female giraffe bear one baby, but
sometimes two babies at once. Giraffes bear its baby with a standing position.
When the baby is about to be born, they just drop it to the ground from a 1.5
meter of height. Baby giraffe can stand with about 20 minutes since being
born, and begin breastfeeding within an hour of birth.

Ant-eaters are perhaps the most curious looking animals.

Their long head and snout look like tubes, and they have no teeth at all. Their
front legs are very strong and armed with heavy curved claws with which they
break open the nets of ants and termites and then, when the insects rush out,
use their long, sticky tongues to lick them up at great speed.
True ant-eaters are found in the swamps and forests of central and South
America. Scaly ant-eaters, or pangolins, are found in Africa and tropical Asia.
Various other insect-eating animals are sometimes called ant-eaters, although
they really belong to other groups of animals. One of them is the ant-bear,

A cactus (plural: cacti) is any member of the plant family Cactaceae, native to the
Americas. They are often used as ornamental plants, but some are also crop
plants. Cacti are grown for protection of property from wild animals, as well as
many other uses.
Cacti are part of the plant order Caryophyllales, which also include members like
beets, gypsophila, spinach, amaranth, tumbleweeds, carnations, rhubarb,
buckwheat, plumbago, bougainvillea, chickweed and knotgrass.
Cacti are unusual and distinctive plants, which are adapted to extremely arid and
hot environments, showing a wide range of anatomical and physiological features
which conserve water. Their stems have adapted to become photosynthetic and
succulent, while the leaves have become the spines for which cacti are well
known.
Cacti come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. The tallest is Pachycereus
pringlei, with a maximum recorded height of 19.2 m, and the smallest is
Blossfeldia liliputana, only about 1 cm in diameter at maturity. Cactus flowers are
large, and like the spines and branches arise from areoles. Many cactus species
are night blooming, as they are pollinated by nocturnal insects or small animals,
principally moths and bats. Cacti range in size from small and globular to tall and
columnar.

Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group
as lizards (the scaled group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own
(Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither
along. Snakes are not slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps
on the skin. Their skin is hard and glossy to reduce friction as the snake
slithers along the ground.
Snakes often sun bathe on rocks in the warm weather. This is because
snakes are cold-blooded; they need the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in trees, some live
in water, but most live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long
grass and in old logs.
A snake’s diet usually consists of frogs, lizards, mice and other snakes. The
Anaconda can eat small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect
themselves with their fangs. Some snakes are protected by scaring their
enemies away like the Cobra. The flying snakes glide away from danger. Their
ribs spread apart and the skin stretches out. Its technique is just like the sugar
gliders.
