Giraffe

Brian Switek, the author of How Giraffes Became Winner by a neck, writes about the evolution of the giraffe and its neck length. The article starts off by explaining the theories of Darwin and Wallace compared to Lamarck. In most textbook cases, Darwin and Wallace are correct, since textbooks usually only show the modern giraffe, Giraffa Camelopardalis, but in this situation, Lamarck’s theory is more correct. The example of the question would be, picture a proto giraffe looking up in a tree for…

and we were able to meet with a male giraffe call “Bongo” and three female giraffe call “Mia, Sara and princess Buttercup”. The Latin name for giraffe is Camelopardalis, meaning camel marked like a leopard (Animal Corner). An interesting fact that we learn while visit the zoo is male giraffe are referred as “bulls” and female giraffes are referred as “cows”. Some distinguishing characteristics about the giraffe are its extremely long neck and legs. Giraffes have medium size ears, large eyes and…

changed, because of isolation are giraffes. In this picture on the left, at top is the common giraffe and at the bottom is a reticulated giraffe. The giraffe used to be the same, but over generations it has changed, because of isolation. It had led them to change their skin, because of the Tana River in Kenya. Therefore the two groups of giraffe have become distinct. When they have been isolation for longer, then the groups will be different from each other. Giraffe changing over time at…

of modern-day giraffes evolved to enable them to find more vegetation or to develop a specialized method of fighting. A new study of fossil cervical vertebrae reveals the evolution likely occurred in several stages as one of the animal's neck vertebrae stretched first toward the head and then toward the tail a few million years later. The study's authors say the research shows, for the first time, the specifics of the evolutionary transformation in extinct species within the giraffe family.…

The community sees the giraffe as a threat while the boys see it as a friend. In order to protect the giraffe, the boys must find a safe spot for it so the community members do not kill the giraffe. 2. The boys see the giraffe as a friend while the community perceives it as a threat. The community has been affected by prejudice while the boys retain their innocence. The town does not accept the giraffe “because there’s room only for the things that are already…

from responders and exposes them to mew ideas and perspectives. Visuals in texts are a powerful tool to reshape understandings of specific ideas and draw us into their experience. Judith Beverage uses the observation of an animal, a giraffe in Domesticity of Giraffes and a spider in The Orb Spider and uses this as an inspiration to comment on the beauty and order of the natural world and the result of interfering with this balance. Doris Lessing explores the conflicting feelings about the…

features, and it also has feathers, wings, and modern birds similar, so is considered a dinosaur evolution to the birds of the bridge. And later also found feather dinosaur fossils, confirmed that birds are evolved from the dinosaurs. The neck of the giraffe will be extended over time. Researcher’s call this ancient beast remains…

Did you ever wonder what would happen if giraffes didn’t have long necks? Or what would happen finches all had the same beaks? If these fantasies were true today, both animals would be extinct. The reason many animals are alive today is because natural selection has helped the animals survive and adapt. Organisms that are better adapted to their environment that survive and reproduce is the process of natural selection. It is proven that organisms that are best fit for their environment will…

example, the traits of long necks in giraffes is a result of non-random mating. In a giraffes populations, males have to fight each other to get the privilege of mating with a females, while the female just sits back and watches. Suppose that a long neck giraffe male is fighting with a short neck giraffe male, obviously the long neck male giraffe is the one who will win the fight. Long necks in male giraffes allow them to strike better than short neck make giraffes; thus winning the fight. The…

survive. There are three kinds of mutations: positive, negative or neutral. Natural selection is always going to decide a mutation. Ether it is positive, negative or neutral. Here are three examples of positive mutation: Polar bear, peppered moth, and giraffe. Polar bears live at the North Pole. A lot of people think that polar bear hair is white. But in fact they are not. Their furs are hollow and transparent. But because of theirs living environment, their hair looks a like white colour.…
