1.         THE GIRAFFES

Giraffes are tall interesting animals Male giraffes are usually about six metres  tall. Half of the giraffes height comes from its neck. Which is longer than its legs. A giraffe has a brown eyes which are protected byvery thick lashes. Since it lives in parts of Afrika  which usually dry with a great deal of dust .The lashes are ani important source of protection. It can also cover its nostrils in order to protect its nose. It has brown spotson tan skin and this coloring helps protectthe giraffe. The

giraffes also have to short horns on its head Giraffes usually live in small hard and often feed with other animals.A baby giraffe is two meters tall at birth. It can stand up by itself within a few minutes and can run well in about two days. Like theCamel,the giraffe can go a long time without dringking water.One source of water is the leaves which the giraffe eats from trees. Since it is so tall the giraffe can reach the tender leaves at the top of a tree Giraffes have two methods of self protection. Is something frighten an adult giraffe, it can gallop awayat about fifty kilometers per hours or stay to fight with its strong legs. At the end of story. Nimas’s parents approved of their relationship.

2.         TURTLES

Are reptiles of the order Chelonii or Testudines characterised by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs that acts as a shield.[3] "Turtle" may either refer to the order as a whole, or to particular Turtle which make up a form taxon that is not monophyletic.

The order Chelonii or Testudines includes both extant (living) and extinct species. The earliest known turtles date from 215 million years ago, making turtles one of the oldest reptile groups and a more ancient group than lizards, snakes and crocodiles. Of the many species alive today, some are highly endangered.

Like other reptiles, turtles are ectotherms their internal temperature varies according to the ambient environment, commonly called cold-blooded. However, leatherback sea turtles have noticeably higher body temperature than surrounding water because of their high metabolic rate. Like other amniotes (reptiles, dinosaurs, birds, and mammals), they breathe air and do not lay eggs underwater, although many species live in or around water. The largest turtles are aquatic.

3.         TSUNAMI

The term of “tsunami” comes from the Japanese which means harbour ("tsu") and wave ("nami"). A tsunami is a series of waves generated when water in a lake or the sea is rapidly displaced on a massive scale.

A tsunami can be generated when the sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically displaces the overlying water. Such large vertical movements of the earth's crust can occur at plate boundaries. Subduction of earthquakes are particularly effective in generating tsunamis, and occur where denser oceanic plates slip under continental plates. As the displaced water mass moves under the influence of gravity to regain its equilibrium, it radiates across the ocean like ripples on a pond. Tsunami always bring great damage. Most of the damage is caused by the huge mass of water behind the initial wave front, as the height of the sea keeps rising fast and floods powerfully into the coastal area

4.         CROCODILES

Crocodiles range from 5 to 25 feet (1.5 to 7.5 m) in length. A crocodile has a long, pointed snout. Some of its lower teeth are exposed when the jaw is closed. It is olive-green with dark crossbands on the back and tail. The skin is protected by large bony plates. The crocodile has a heavy tail, short legs, and webbed hind feet.The crocodile has protruding eyes and nostrils, raised slightly above the flattened head, allowing the animal to see and breathe while the rest of its body is submerged. The ears have flaps that close when the head is submerged. A fold at the back of the mouth closes off the air passage from the food passage, enabling the animal to breathe even when its mouth is open underwater. The jaws have powerful muscles and sharp, strong teeth that are frequently shed, replaced by new ones that grow in their place. Both sexes have a pair of scent glands under the chin that secretes musk, a strong-smelling substance that attracts a mate.

A crocodile has powerful jaws and sharp, regenerating teeth.

How Do You Tell an Alligator from a Crocodile?

The easiest way is to look at the animals’ heads. Alligators and caimans have wide, U-shaped snouts. Crocodiles have narrow, V-shaped snouts. But there are other differences, too. The upper jaws of alligators and caimans are wider than their lower jaws. When the mouth is closed, the teeth in the lower jaw are covered. A crocodile’s upper and lower jaws are nearly the same size. When its mouth is closed, some teeth in the lower jaw are still seen. Alligators and caimans usually live in fresh water. Crocodiles are found in fresh water and in salt water. Crocodiles have salt glands on their tongues. Extra salt from food or water leaves the crocodile’s body through these salt glands. Finally, alligators and caimans are  shy and will usually avoid humans. Many crocodiles are bold. They are less likely to avoid humans  .

5.         FISH

Fish are animals that live in water. Fish have fins that help them to swim. Most fish have slimy skins covered with scales which are very small and can hardly be seen.

Fish breathe through gills. These look like a comb and lie on each side of the head. Fish take in water all the time. The water flows in through the mouth, over the gills, and out through the sides of the head. When a fish takes in water, it is not drinking but breathing, and the gills absorb oxygen from the water.The body of a fish is made up of the head, the trunk, and the tail fins.There are many different kinds of fish which have many different shapes an colors. Some fish are long and thin, while others are flat and rounded. Most fish have bodies which are broad at the trunk region and narrow towards the head .
