They spend most of their day eating, because they get just a few leaves in each bite. Their favorite leaves are from acacia trees. These trees have long thorns that keep most animals from eating them. ]]> 2019-01-22 09:45:52 UTC https://padlet.com/d_ervine/xo0zlalkmo/wish/322895986 https://padlet.com/d_ervine/xo0zlalkmo/wish/322896079 Acacia - a tree or shrub of warm climates which bears spikes or clusters of yellow or white flowers and is typically thorny.

They drink water when it is available but can go weeks without it, they rely on morning dew and the water content of their food. Their very long necks are an adaption to feeding at high levels in the treetops]]> 2019-01-22 09:59:50 UTC https://padlet.com/d_ervine/xo0zlalkmo/wish/322900438 https://padlet.com/d_ervine/xo0zlalkmo/wish/322902979 Giraffes sleep for about 4.6 hours. In the wild, giraffes almost never lie down because of vulnerability to predators. They usually sleep standing up, sometimes sitting.When giraffes sleep, they curl their necks and sleep for about five minutes at a time, sleeping no more than 30 minutes a day. ]]> 2019-01-22 10:09:17 UTC https://padlet.com/d_ervine/xo0zlalkmo/wish/322902979 https://padlet.com/d_ervine/xo0zlalkmo/wish/322903110  A giraffe's neck is too short to reach the ground. As a result, it has to awkwardly spread its front legs or kneel to reach the ground for a drink of water. Giraffes only need to drink once every few days. Most of their water comes from all the plants they eat. ]]> 2019-01-22 10:09:58 UTC https://padlet.com/d_ervine/xo0zlalkmo/wish/322903110 https://padlet.com/d_ervine/xo0zlalkmo/wish/322903124  A giraffe’s height is helpful for keeping a look out for predators, such as lions and hyebas.
