Mosquitoes
Everyone knows the small insect called the mosquito. It is possible to find
mosquitoes in almost every part of the world except in places where it is extremely
cold or where it is very dry. During the summer, it is almost certain that you can find
many mosquitoes near swamps, ponds, and lakes.
Mosquitoes have an interesting life cycle. The female mosquito bites a person or
animal in order to get some blood. She needs this blood before she can lay her eggs.
Then she flies to an area of water and deposits her eggs in the water. In a few days
the eggs open, and the baby mosquitoes, alled larvae, come out. In a short time, they
will mature and fly away.
It is interesting to note that only the female will bite for blood. She has a special
mouth which can go into animals skin or persons skin. On the other hand, the male
mosquito can only drink plant juices with its mouth.
GIRAFFES
One of the tallest and most interesting animals is giraffe. Male giraffes are usually
about six meters tall. Half of the giraffes height comes from its neck, which is
longer than is legs. A giraffe has big brown eyes which are protected by very thick
lashes. Since it lives in parts of Africa which are usually dry with a great deal of
dust, the lashes are an important source of protection. They can also cover its
nostrils in order to proctect its nose. It has brown spots on tan skin and this coloring
helps protect the giraffe. The giraffe also has two short horns on its head.
Like the camel, the giraffe can go a long time without drinking 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 usually live in small herds 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. Giraffes have two methods of self protection. If
something frightens an adult giraffe, it can gallop away about fifty kilometers per
hour or stay to fight with its strong legs.
