There are five different groups of
animals with vertebrates.
Mammals
Reptiles
Amphibians
Birds
Fish
Most mammals:
are warm blooded
have hair or fur
give birth to live young
feed their babies with mother’s milk
breathe through lungs
The panda and giraffe are both
mammals.
These mammals are both
plant eaters.
A giraffe is the world’s tallest land
animal. He has a long neck so he can
eat leaves from trees. tree leaves,
and grasslands. He has the same
number of bones in his neck as
humans do. (Seven bones)
Giraffe
A giraffe can go for days without water.
In order to drink water, the giraffe has to
spread its front legs and bend its long
neck to the water. Giraffes live in herds
in African.
Giraffes
The giraffes front legs are slightly longer
then the rear legs. A baby giraffe weighs
about 130 pounds at birth and is about 6
feet tall. Giraffes are plant eaters, eating
mostly leaves, twigs and bark from the tops
of the thorny acacia plant. The giraffes
carefully eat around the thorns, and their
tough lips and thick saliva protect them
somewhat from the thorns.
A Giraffe eats from tall
trees and it has a short
mane so when it is cold he
is ready for it.
Giraffes
Inside a giraffe’s neck there are seven
bones. These bones and a giraffe’s
backbone are its vertebrate. Like most
hoofed mammals, giraffe’s eat plants.
The giraffe uses its upper lip and long
tongue to strip the leaves from the tree.

Pandas
Pandas grow to be about 250 pounds.
They eat bamboo for 12 to 16 hours
every day. They have strong teeth
and jaws to help them chew the food.
Panda
Pandas have thick,
oily, woolly fur that
keeps them warm
in their cold, damp
place where they
live in China. Their
fur is waterproof.
Pandas
They have their cubs in dens
that they dig in the ground.
One or two cubs are born but
usually only one survives.
