Answer:

paragraph on giraffe

Giraffes are the tallest mammals on Earth. Their legs alone are taller than many humans—about 6 feet.[1]

They can run as fast as 35 miles an hour over short distances, or cruise at 10 mph over longer distances.[2]

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.[3]

Giraffes only need to drink once every few days. Most of their water comes from all the plants they eat.[4]

Giraffes spend most of their lives standing up; they even sleep and give birth standing up.[5]

The giraffe calf can stand up and walk after about an hour and within a week, it starts to sample vegetation.[6]

Despite the females’ attempts to stand over their calves during attacks by lions, spotted hyenas, leopards and African wild dogs (4), many calves are killed in their first few months.[7]

A giraffe’s spots are much like human fingerprints. No two individual giraffes have exactly the same pattern.[8]

Both male and female giraffes have two distinct, hair-covered horns called ossicones. Male giraffes use their horns to sometimes fight with other males.[9]

Giraffes only need 5 to 30 minutes of sleep in a 24-hour period! They often achieve that in quick naps that may last only a minute or two at a time.[10]

Whilst it was thought that giraffes did not make any sounds, this is now known to be untrue, as giraffes bellow, snort, hiss and make flute-like sounds, as well as low pitch noises beyond the range of human hearing

paragraph on camel

Camel is a useful domestic animal which is tamed by human beings for thousands of years. It is popularly known as the “Ship of the Desert”. It is mainly found in the desert areas of Africa, Middle East Asia etc. In India it is found in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat. It is able to walk for long distances in desert areas where neither water nor vegetation exists. Camels are mostly used by nomadic people of Africa and Asia; camel has a long neck and legs. People use to sit on the back of camel for riding in desert areas.

 

Camel is an animal which eats grass, leaves, fruits, vegetables etc, it can eat dry fodder also like dry grass and dry leaves. It can easily travel up to 40 to 50 kms if it is not carrying any kind of load.

paragraph on deer

A deer is an animal which lives in the jungle. It is found in different parts of Asia, Europe and North America. A deer has four long legs and a very small white tail; it has white circular patches on its skin. Some deer have white linings on their skin. A male deer has horns on its head whereas female deer has no horns on its head. Deers roam in the jungle in search of food and that’s why they become the easy prey of other wild animals like lion, tiger, fox, etc.

 

A deer is a mammal which means it gives birth to babies. Deer is an herbivorous animal; it eats grass, leaves, plants and other herbs of the jungle. The population of deer is decreasing throughout the world due to excessive hunting.

Explanation:

Giraffe

The giraffe (Giraffa) is an African artiodactyl mammal, the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant. It is traditionally considered to be one species, Giraffa camelopardalis, with nine subspecies. However, the existence of up to eight extant giraffe species has been described, based upon research into the mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, as well as morphological measurements of Giraffa. Seven other species are extinct, prehistoric species known from fossils.

The giraffe's chief distinguishing characteristics are its extremely long neck and legs, its horn-like ossicones, and its distinctive coat patterns. It is classified under the family Giraffidae, along with its closest extant relative, the okapi. Its scattered range extends from Chad in the north to South Africa in the south, and from Niger in the west to Somalia in the east. Giraffes usually inhabit savannahs and woodlands. Their food source is leaves, fruits and flowers of woody plants, primarily acacia species, which they browse at heights most other herbivores cannot reach.

Sheep

Sheep (Ovis aries) are quadrupedal, ruminant mammals typically kept as livestock. Like most ruminants, sheep are members of the order Artiodactyla, the even-toed ungulates. Although the name sheep applies to many species in the genus Ovis, in everyday usage it almost always refers to Ovis aries. Numbering a little over one billion, domestic sheep are also the most numerous species of sheep. An adult female is referred to as a ewe (/juː/), an intact male as a ram, occasionally a tup, a castrated male as a wether, and a young sheep as a lamb.

Sheep are most likely descended from the wild mouflon of Europe and Asia; one of the earliest animals to be domesticated for agricultural purposes, sheep are raised for fleeces, meat (lamb, hogget or mutton) and milk. A sheep's wool is the most widely used animal fibre and is usually harvested by shearing. Ovine meat is called lamb when from younger animals and mutton when from older ones in Commonwealth countries, and lamb in the United States (including from adults). Sheep continue to be important for wool and meat today and are also occasionally raised for pelts, as dairy animals, or as model organisms for science.

Deer

Deer or true deer are hoofed ruminant mammals forming the family Cervidae. The two main groups of deer are the Cervinae, including the muntjac, the elk (wapiti), the red deer, the fallow deer, and the chital; and the Capreolinae, including the reindeer (caribou), the roe deer, the mule deer, and the moose. Female reindeer, and male deer of all species except the Chinese water deer, grow and shed new antlers each year. In this, they differ from permanently horned antelope, which are part of a different family (Bovidae) within the same order of even-toed ungulates (Artiodactyla).

The musk deer (Moschidae) of Asia and chevrotains (Tragulidae) of tropical African and Asian forests are separate families within the ruminant clade (Ruminantia). They are not especially closely related to deer among the Ruminantia.

Deer appear in art from Paleolithic cave paintings onwards, and they have played a role in mythology, religion, and literature throughout history, as well as in heraldry, such as red deer occur in the coat of arms of Åland.[2] Their economic importance includes the use of their meat as venison, their skins as soft, strong buckskin, and their antlers as handles for knives. Deer hunting has been a popular activity since at least the Middle Ages and remains a resource for many families today.
