The giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) is an African even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest of all land-living animal species. Males can be 4.8 to 5.5 metres (16 to 18 feet) tall and weigh up to 1,300 kilograms (3,000 pounds). The record-sized bull was 5.87 m (19.2 ft) tall and weighed approximately 2,000 kg (4,400 lb).[2] Females are generally slightly shorter, and weigh less than the males do.Giraffes can inhabit savannas, grasslands, or open woodlands. They prefer areas enriched with acacia growth. They drink large quantities of water and, as a result, they can spend long periods of time in dry, arid areas. When searching for more food they will venture into areas with denser foliage. If we apply it to someone we know, the probability of finding her in a location with high FOOD OUTLET density is remarkably high. =]The giraffe has one of the shortest sleep requirements of any mammal, which is between 10 minutes and two hours in a 24-hour period, averaging 1.9 hours per day. =]
Updated.....
Neck
Giraffes have long necks, which they use to browse the leaves of trees. They possess seven vertebrae in the neck (the usual number for a mammal) that are elongated. The vertebrae are separated by highly flexible joints. The base of the neck has spines which project upward and form a hump over the shoulders. They have anchor muscles that hold the neck upright.
The giraffe browses on the twigs of trees, preferring trees of the genus Mimosa; but it appears that it can live without inconvenience on other vegetable food. A giraffe can eat 63 kg (140 lb) of leaves and twigs daily. As ruminants, they first chew their food, swallow for processing and then visibly regurgitate the semi-digested cud up their necks and back into the mouth (gross, :p), in order to chew again. This process is usually repeated several times for each mouthful.
Well, this fun facts is the courtesy of a close friend of mine who is jus as obssess bout giraffes as I do, NOT..Hehe..he jus paste it in my friendster coz I'm obssess with girrafes...Thanks Micky.. :D

What does it feels to be disappointed? It sux rite..Yea..Sux big time,yes? Well, I've learned to let go..Too long to say wut happened, but wut I wanna say is, do "filter" first wut ppl say before u said it to someone..It might hurt the other party..Sigh, but the point of my blog is not to say how sad I am coz I already let go thanks to frens that encourage me..Thanks to PC n gang, n Miss Ang (yes its u :) ) for always asking me how I feel, concern whenever I'm down and also sorry to PC cos hor, suddenly cry in class. I do believe that it scares u rite?...This words might be little, but it carries a big meaning...N always to PC n gang for making me feel "accepted" n because of this issue, I became a stronger person. So the saying of "What doesn't kill u will make u stronger" is really true..I am not saddened by it anymore..Look forward, we can do it...Live life to the fullest..There are so many more important things besides this minor thing..Hmm, finally I can tell out what's been playing in my mind..I didn bother to explained to her y am I acting this way, as I don c the point of it..N by now, I'm already used to being "wrongly blamed" for everything..My sis said, be low profile n thats exactly wut Im doing..Jus can't wait to leave this sadland. Yes, SADLAND with a capital S!!
