For writing this week I had to find facts and then turn it into a report. We were aloud to choose our own animal to write about so I chose the Giraffe. Here is my report of Giraffes.
The Giraffes live in the dry savannas of Africa. Did you know that All Giraffes patterns are different. Giraffes have long tongues that grow as long as 53 centimeters.
An adult Giraffe can grow to around five and a half meters tall. That is taller than three adult humans. The giraffes are the tallest land animal in the world. Giraffes legs are 1.8 metres tall and are taller than some humans. An adult Giraffe's tails can grow up to 2.4 metres long. A baby giraffe is about 2 metres tall.
Giraffes enemies are Lions and Hyenas. Their long necks help them see some hunters that are trying to hunt them. Sometimes Male(can be called bulls) Giraffes use their necks to fight enemies. They usually use it to protect baby Giraffes.
What do Giraffes eat? Giraffes are Herbivores that means they only eat plants. Their long tongues help them get leaves. Giraffes eat 45 kgs of leaves a day!!
Even though Giraffes eat a lot they don’t need to drink a lot they only need to drink once every few days. If there was a drought, the leaves wouldn't grow that well so they would have to drink a lot of water.
There are thought to be nine living subspecies of Giraffes and one species of giraffe.
The Subspecies names are Kordofan Giraffe,Nubian Giraffe,Rothschild's Giraffe,West African Giraffe,Reticulated Giraffe,Angolan Giraffe,South African Giraffe,Masai Giraffe and the Thornicafts Giraffe. The species name is the North Africa Giraffe.
Giraffes roam around in groups of around 15 there is one male and the rest are females and young giraffes. Their groups are called Towers. In the wild for around 25 years. But when Giraffes are in Zoos or are looked after well by humans they can live up to 40 years old.
Have you ever written a report on animals if so what did you write about?

Hi Benjamin
ReplyDeleteWell done on your information report. You have clearly understood the brief on an information report particularly an animal report. The report is set out in the correct structure of paragraphs and facts. It's always tempting to add some personal comments but an information report is only factual and you have demonstrated that well. I remember at school I did an information report on panda bears. What fact did you find the most interesting about giraffes? Have you ever fed a giraffe at Orana Park?
