GIRAFFES

What I’m going to talk about is the giraffes habitat, behavior, what a giraffes looks like. A giraffes habitat is in East Africa and Zambia in south Africa. Until the middle of the 20th centrey giraffes were also commonly found in West Africa, South of Sahara. But the population declined over the years. The declined to the giraffes population has largely been to hunting from the humans. Giraffes prospects for survival goods living in national parks. The giraffes behavior! One of the most striking elements of the giraffes behavior is the duel between males fighting for a mate. When the males duel they are one if the most powerful ones in the animal kingdom. When the males duel they start by approaching each other and begin to rub and intertwine their necks together. This behavior- is know as necking-. Shows who’s stranger or bigger in size. What a giraffe looks like. A giraffe has a very long tongue to start with. Its tongue is 18 inches long, that is longer then a adults arm. It weighs 25 pounds. A giraffes heart is 2 feet long. The neck of a giraffe is usually 1.5-1.8 meters long (when it is fully grown. Humans and giraffes have 7 neck bones that are the same. What the giraffe eats. Giraffes eat twigs of trees. But they rather prefer plant and they are mimso genus, but it appears that they like to eat vegetable food rather than all the other things that they eat. They can eat 63kg of leaves and twigs dailey. They eat 75 ponds of leaves alone DAILEY! (tipicly African leaves.) That is what my essy is about GIRAFFES, there habitate, behavior, what it looks like, and what it eats. Thank you for ready my easy.

    giraffe

    Mauro Senesi constructs “The Giraffe” to symbolize and represent a new idea that is being introduced into a closed environment. “It must have seen over the houses the clotted red of the roofs and the horizon, who knows how far” (p. 233). When the giraffe extends its neck to see the town, it not only can observe what other people cannot, but also have a perspective of the unknown. The giraffe perceives the surrounding different than what villagers are accustom because it once lived a different life and have awareness of what is unexpected to the town. It knows certain knowledge that is new and different which results in amazement and wonder at first. However, throughout the story, people have no desire to change their current status quo and start to push away the giraffe out of their life. “But there must have been other reasons too for the hatred of the people: like the defense of an equilibrium, of a reality that we wanted to subvert with our giraffe” (p. 235). As the new idea comes forth, changes must happen in order to fully accept and embrace it. But in the story, Senesi purposely put a bizarre concept right in the middle of an unreceptive group that develops denunciation towards it. In contrast, only the “boys” can accept the change and are willing to sacrifice their everyday life to support it. But they are merely children who do not have authority or status to sustain it. Consequently, the giraffe fades away along with its new perspective, “Our giraffe has died by itself, boys … because there is room only for the things that are already here” (p. 236). New ideas, just like nature, will fade away and die out if not being nurtured or developed. The giraffe has already matured and taken shape, but being shunned and spurned, it will meet its ultimate doom at the end. The giraffe’s fate strongly suggests the author’s pessimistic view of introducing a fresh concept into a tight-knit society. Senesi opens our minds to a lesson that can be seen in history…

    For this paper I decided to visit Zoo Atlanta to observe lowland gorillas. I got to the zoo at around eleven in the morning and found out the feeding times for the gorillas. Once I found them, after watching them for a little while I selected the most active group to go watch during feeding. The point of this trip was to make me feel as if I was doing a field laboratory observation of primate social behavior and it definitely did. As you read my paper I will include what I saw, my feelings towards it, and also any questions or facts I received during my visit from volunteers or signs throughout the exhibit. To put this paper into perspective with this anthropology class I will be using five terms that are from chapter seven to relate the field observation. I hope you enjoy my paper, cause I sure enjoyed writing it.…
