Giraffes live in the savannas of Africa. A male height is  16-20 ft (adult). They eat acacia is a tree or shrub of warm climates that bears spikes or clusters of yellow or white flowers and is frequently thorny. A giraffe weights up to 1,800 lbs.]]> 2018-10-03 19:30:30 UTC https://padlet.com/1018930/6ry90tzq8uig/wish/288857212 1018930 https://padlet.com/1018930/6ry90tzq8uig/wish/289345737 The giraffe is made up of animal cells. An animal cell does not have any vacuoles or chloroplasts like plant cells. The animal cell does not have a cell wall because the skeletal system of an animal is where the support comes from. The animal cell make up every part about the giraffe. Including bone, muscle, organs, skin, etc. Animals like the giraffe get their energy from the digestive system where their cells transfer food into energy that the animal can use unlike plans which have to go through photosynthesis to get their energy. ]]> 2018-10-04 19:00:45 UTC https://padlet.com/1018930/6ry90tzq8uig/wish/289345737 1018930 https://padlet.com/1018930/6ry90tzq8uig/wish/289352350 Giraffe reproduction is largely polygamous with a few dominant males wanting to mate with the fertile females. Giraffe reach sexual maturity in captivity at around 3-4 years old. However, in the wild males do not usually breed until they are 6-7 years old. We should be grateful to be living in such an awesome place, and that we have learned from a young age that giraffe doesn't lay eggs.. that they are mammals, and that they give birth to live young. ]]> 2018-10-04 19:13:08 UTC https://padlet.com/1018930/6ry90tzq8uig/wish/289352350 1018930 https://padlet.com/1018930/6ry90tzq8uig/wish/289860918 The giraffe is a genus of African even-toed ungulate mammals, the tallest living terrestrial animals and the largest ruminants. The genus currently consists of one species, giraffe Camelopardalis, the type species. Giraffe have a very big heart and high blood pressure. It takes a lot to get blood up their long neck.]]> 2018-10-06 05:03:23 UTC https://padlet.com/1018930/6ry90tzq8uig/wish/289860918 1018930 https://padlet.com/1018930/6ry90tzq8uig/wish/289861614 Giraffe are primary consumers, as they eat producers, the various plants, leaves, and shrubs which compose their diet. They do not produce their own energy, nor do they eat consumers. Giraffe get their energy from the digestive system where their cells transfer food into energy that the animal can use. An okapi is an animal related to the giraffe. They also get energy by eating food such as leaves.]]> 2018-10-06 05:20:08 UTC https://padlet.com/1018930/6ry90tzq8uig/wish/289861614 1018930 https://padlet.com/1018930/6ry90tzq8uig/wish/289862799 The foundation wanted to understand the genetic differences between different giraffe populations, to see how the animals might be affected if different subspecies were mixed together when animals were moved into protected areas. A genetic Information is stored in several places, which are DNA molecules, genes, chromosomes, mitochondria and the genome. Different amounts and types of genetic information are stored in these locations.The majority of genetic information is stored within an individual DNA molecule, although it is found in other cellular locations as well. ]]> 2018-10-06 05:50:09 UTC https://padlet.com/1018930/6ry90tzq8uig/wish/289862799 1018930 https://padlet.com/1018930/6ry90tzq8uig/wish/289863233 An illustration of a giraffid, an ancient ancestor of that giraffes. A nearly complete giraffid fossil about 9 million years old provides evidence that giraffe ancestors lived by Europe earlier than suspected. ]]> 2018-10-06 06:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/1018930/6ry90tzq8uig/wish/289863233 1018930 https://padlet.com/1018930/6ry90tzq8uig/wish/289863929 They can grow up to 17 feet tall and weigh as much as 3,000 pounds. The male giraffes called bulls, are typically larger than the females called cows. A baby giraffe is about 6 1/2 feet tall at birth and weigh about 220 pounds. ]]> 2018-10-06 06:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/1018930/6ry90tzq8uig/wish/289863929
