Giraffes / Las Jirafas

With its long, graceful neck and dark brown spots, the giraffe is a unique-looking animal. This zoology title for children, filled with beautiful photos and factual life science text, examines the mammal's ossicones and other parts of its anatomy, hunting and feeding habits, life cycle, and calf care. Its forest and savanna habitats are described, too. An African folktale explains why giraffes have long necks. Part of Creative Education's popular Amazing Animals series, this bilingual edition supports elementary-aged dual language learners with side-by-side English and Spanish text, captions, on-page definitions, and an index.
