They often achieve that in quick naps that may last only a minute or two at a time. Giraffes only need to drink once every few days. Most of their water comes from all the plants they eat. ]]> 2019-04-25 16:18:50 UTC https://padlet.com/madison_pirtle/q8jphe2ff90b/wish/354176601 lexie_miller1 https://padlet.com/madison_pirtle/q8jphe2ff90b/wish/354177978 Giraffes living in other countries are mostly in national parks in Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Namibia, and Tanzania.

The new species are the northern giraffe, the southern giraffe, the reticulated giraffe and the Masai giraffe. ]]> 2019-04-25 16:23:27 UTC https://padlet.com/madison_pirtle/q8jphe2ff90b/wish/354178491
