Long neck stretches ... Knobby legs gallop ... Meet the giraffe!
Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, Giraffes treats
middle-grade researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive
profile of this marvelous African mammal. It covers zoology topics such
as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species
conservation efforts and the animal's relationship with humans
throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the
main text, while a Tanzanian tale about the giraffe adds a
cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
