Special long neck of baby giraffe will be the theme for this post and I will bring many factoflife about giraffe baby for you.

Fun information and facts about giraffe for kids

Fact #1

The giraffe is the tallest mammal on earth. New-born baby giraffes are even taller than mosthumans. And males can grow up to 5.5 meters (18 feet) tall.

Fact #2

The neck of a giraffes is too short to reach the ground. So it has to awkwardly spread its front legs or kneel to reach the ground for a drink of water.

Fact #3

Like snowflakes and human fingerprints, no two giraffes have the same spot pattern.

Fact #4

Baby Giraffes can stand within half an hour of being born. After only 10 hours, they can actually run alongside their family.

Fact #5

Giraffes only need 5 to 30 minutes of sleep in a 24-hour period.

Fact #6

Giraffes only need to drink once every few days. Most of their water comes from plants they eat.

Fact #7

The idea that giraffes make no sound is untrue. When giraffes snort, bellow, hiss, etc, they make flute-like or low pitch noises beyond the range of human hearing.

Fact #8

Before mating, the female giraffe will first urinate in the male's mouth.

Fact #9

Giraffes are ruminants. This means that they have more than one stomach. In fact, giraffes have four stomachs, the extra stomachs assisting with digesting food.

Fact #10

Drinking is one of the most dangerous times for a giraffe. While it is getting a drink it cannot keep a look out for predators and is vulnerable to attack.

Fact #11

Male giraffes sometimes fight with their necks over female giraffes. This is called “necking”. The two giraffes stand side by side and one giraffe swings his head and neck, hitting his head against the other giraffe. Sometimes one giraffe is hit to the ground during a combat.

Fact #12

A giraffe's habitat is usually found in African savannas, grasslands or open woodlands.

Fact #13

The hair that makes up a giraffes tail is about 10 times thicker than the average strand of human hair.

Fact #14

Giraffes have a great sense of sight and smell and are able to run at speeds up to 35 miles per hour.

Fact #15

However, a baby giraffe in the wild is vulnerable because it has a shorter gait and is unable to keep up with the herd if a predator is detected. In the days and weeks following a birth, a mother giraffe will sometimes leave her baby hidden in tall grass for a few hours while she eats and roams.

Penguins catch their food

Do you know how Penguins catch their food? Can you give the best answer for this awesome question? Let's find out by this article

Penguins catch their food while swimming in the ocean. Penguins primarily eat fish, squid and krill that they catch with their sharp beaks. Over their evolutionary history, the ancestors of modern penguins lost their ability to fly in exchange for becoming extraordinary swimmers.

Penguin eating habits

Penguins are some of the most interesting birds and, while there are many different varieties of penguins, most eat the same things and about 2 pounds of food a day. Considering a penguin' s size and how many of them flock together, it can be difficult for them all to find enough food everyday. Besides that, penguins cannot see in the dark, so all their hunting is done during daylight hours--an added challenge during the time of year when it is almost constantly dark in the Artic. But penguins have figured out a way to make it work, along with a little help from Mother Nature.

The penguin diet

The penguin diet is limited because most penguins live in such cold conditions (the African penguin has a wider range because it lives in a warmer climate). It consists of three main foods: fish, squid and krill. Penguins eat mostly krill and fish, with squid as a delicacy when they can get it. Penguins have a slightly different method of retrieving these different foods to eat.

Hunting for krill

Penguins' mouths have a series of spines pointing down their throats, so when they catch food, it stays in their mouths. Penguins almost never chew their food, as they have no teeth other than these spines used for holding the food in place. This is extremely helpful when catching small foods like krill. To catch krill, a penguin typically jumps or slides into the water, then uses its beak to gather the krill like a net. A penguin can also use its sharp beak to collect krill that is sitting on the underside of the ice.

Hunting for fish

Penguins' sharp beaks with sharp edges is a huge advantage to gathering fish quickly. They slide into the water after a school of fish, swim along with the fish and catch fish one at a time, swallowing them as they go. When the penguins have had enough to eat, they climb out of the water and go to sleep.
