Giraffes are the world's tallest mammals. A giraffe's legs alone are taller than most humans - about 6 feet! Common name: Giraffe Scientific name: Giraffa camelopardalis Type: Mammals Diet: Herbivore Average lifespan in the wild: 25 years Size: 14-19 feet Weight: 1,750-2,800 pounds  People do not know why giraffes need the little horns that they have, some people think they use it to get leaves from the highest untouched leaves at the top of trees, others think they use it to fight, and who knows what others think! Unfortunately, the population of giraffes is decreasing.  Did you know, a giraffe's heart weighs about 25 pounds?!

Awesome   African Lions The only cat species that live in groups is the African Lion. These groups are called prides. Prides can have up to three males and plenty of females. The females do almost all of the hunting yet the males eat first. They often team up to hunt wildebeest, zebras, antelopes and other such grassland animals. Most of these creatures are faster so teamwork is vital. Their top speed is 50.3 km per hour.   Only the males bare impressive manes so it’s pretty easy to tell who is what gender. Males defend their grassland territory, while females are off chasing dinner. This information was found on https://www.nationalgeographic.com/prototype/topics/prototype-african-lion-responsive/ .   Sadly, African Lions are endangered and only a few still live in the wild. People also keep them as pets and when they are too big they give them to an organisation malnourished and in desperate need of help. Thanks, bye!
