GIRAFFE.

A giraffe is a very tall animal. In fact, it is the tallest animal in the world.
A giraffe has a very long neck. Unfortunately, the giraffe cannot bend its neck
easily. Thus, when it wants to drink water at a pool, the giraffe has to spread
its front legs apart, so it can reach the water.
A giraffe feeds on plant only. Hence, it can reach the leaves on trees easily be
cause of its height. Also, a giraffe has a very long tongue about 0.5 metres lon
g. The giraffe uses this long tongue skillfully to pick leaves off plants and tr
ees.
This tall animal can protect itself very well. It has a very good sense of smell
and sight. It can hear very well, too. Finally, it can gallop very fast at a sp
eed of 50 km.p.h.
The giraffe's hind legs and long neck are also very useful. For example, a giraf
fe can kick its enemy with its hind legs or even hit out with its long neck.
