Giraffe

The giraffe is the highest animal in the world. Its height can reach 4.8 to 5.5 meters and
its weight is about 1360 pounds. Giraffe has unique characteristic. They have a very long
necks and two small horns on its head. Giraffes have big brown eyes and are protected by
thick and long eyebrows. Her body is covered with a unique pattern that is attached by
brown spots all over their body.
Just like camels, giraffes can survive without drinking for a long time because giraffes can
rely on the water contained in the leaves they eat. Giraffes are very selective in choosing
food. They always eat young leaves that grow in the tree tops. Their tongue shaped like a
knife help them to cut branches that are very hard.
Female giraffes can start pregnant at the age of five years, with a gestation period of 15
months. Commonly female giraffes bear one baby, but sometimes two babies at once.
Giraffes bear their baby in a standing position. When the baby is about to be born, they
drop it to the ground from a 1.5-meter height. A baby giraffe can stand for about 20
minutes after being born, and begin breastfeeding within an hour of birth.

Why is the Sky Blue?
The blue colour of the sky is due to a phenomenon called scattering. Scattering occurs when the
molecules and particles in the atmosphere interact with the solar radiation (sunlight). The sunlight that
reaches the earth is composed of different wavelengths, which correspond to different colors. The
human eye can perceive these colours as the spectrum of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue,
indigo, and violet.
The amount of scattering depends on the wavelength of the light and the size of the particles.
According to Rayleigh's law, the scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the
wavelength. This means that shorter wavelengths (such as blue and violet) are scattered more than
longer wavelengths (such as red and orange).
However, this does not explain why the sky is blue and not violet, since violet has the shortest
wavelength and should be scattered the most. The reason is that the sun emits more blue light than
violet, and also that the human eye is more sensitive to blue light than violet. Therefore, the
combination of these factors makes the sky appear blue to us.
