Giraffes need our help!

Hey readers I finished of my writing today and did some buddy check teacher check and self check with my writing I hope you guys like it and you can comment down bellow if you want ok 😄😃😁

Giraffes need our help!


Introduction

Have you ever seen a giraffe before?  Even though they are really tall they have a kind heart they help our environment by  living  in harmony and serve a vital role in ecosystems … Giraffes host ticks , providing food for tick eating birds.


Appearance

Giraffes tower over Africa as the tallest mammal in the world(They are the tallest mammal in the world that is about 4.6 - 6.1m in height). These tall animals are identified by their long necks , legs and spotted coats. Most Giraffes have tan white or yellow coats that are spotted with brown octagon shapes.


Habitat

Giraffes can be found almost everywhere in Africa: Kenya , Cameroon , Chad , Niger , Uganda , Namibia , Botswana , Zimbabwe , Zambia , Tanzania, Angola and South Africa can also be found in Grasslands , Woodlands and the savanna.


Food

Giraffes only eat one plant and that is acacia leaves; they are poisonous and have thorns. But for these animals they can eat it. The giraffes can eat these plants' thorns and twigs because they are not deterred. They have tough lips that can help them eat through the thorns.


Protection

Giraffes have no claws , sharp tusks or pointed antlers to protect themselves , but any animal that lives in the wild in such conditions have adaptations that allow them to survive. Giraffes protect themselves from intruders with their legs. These are their primary and most powerful weapons that save them from death.


Conclusion

Overall , I think that Giraffes are important to the ecosystem because they keep it balanced. They eat the branches that others cannot reach , which promotes growth of forage and opens up areas for themselves and other smaller browsers to make use of. So please if you see a giraffe don’t harm it and make sure to tell people that are trying to cut down their land to leave it alone and stop cutting!.
