Mark has talked about a small animal. I'm going to give you a talk about a very big one. It's the giraffe, a tall long-necked, spotted ruminant. Male giraffes are usually about six metres tall. Half of the giraffe's height comes from its neck, which is longer than its legs. A baby giraffe is two metres tall at birth. It can stand up by itself within a few minutes and can run well in about two days. A giraffe has big brown eyes which are protected by very thick lashes. Since it lives in parts of Africa which are usually dry with a great deal of dust, the lashes are an important source of protection. It can also cover its nostrils in order to protect its nose. It has two short horns on its head. Like the camel, the giraffe can go a long time without drinking water. One source of water is the leaves which the giraffe eats from trees. Since it is so tall, the giraffe can reach the tender leaves at the top of a tree. Giraffes usually live in small herds and often feed with other animals. Giraffes have two methods of self-protection. If something frightens an adult giraffe, it can gallop away at about 50 kilometres per hour or stay to fight with its strong legs. Well, that's all I know about giraffes.
Mark讲了一种小动物，那么我要来讲一种大的，那就是长颈鹿。长颈鹿是一种高大且脖子长，带斑点的反刍动物。雄性长颈鹿一般有六米高，其中一半以上的高度都是脖子，他们的脖子比腿长。小长颈鹿出生的时候有大概两米高，出生几分钟就能独立站立，两天就能跑。长颈鹿有着棕色的大眼睛，厚厚的睫毛起保护作用。由于长颈鹿产于非洲干旱地区，当地灰尘很大，睫毛就成了重要的保护措施。长颈鹿的睫毛还能盖住鼻孔从而保护它们的鼻子。长颈鹿头上有两个角。和骆驼一样，它们能走很远不用喝水。它们水的主要来源就是吃的树叶。它们的身高使得它们能吃到树顶上的嫩叶。长颈鹿一般是小种群群居的，和其他动物共享觅食区域。它们有两种自我保护的方法。如果成年长颈鹿受惊的话，它就会以每小时50公里的速度逃跑，或者是留在原地使用它们强壮的腿进行战斗。好的，这就是我所知道的长颈鹿。 ——by vincit 欢迎讨论
