Males can grow up to 18 feet tall, while females can reach 14 feet and their calves, are born six feet tall.
雄性长颈鹿可以长到18英尺高(约5.5米),雌性长颈鹿可以长到14英尺高(约4.3米),而小长颈鹿出生时就有6英尺高(约1.8米)。
As a prey animal, the evolution of the giraffe's habits means that they rarely lie down, as it's difficult for them to get up again.
长颈鹿是被捕食的动物,经过进化后,它们现在很少会躺下,因为躺下后要再起来可不容易。
Sleeping and drinking water both cause problems for the animals because their long necks are too short to reach the ground.
睡觉和喝水对长颈鹿来说都不轻松,因为它们脖子太长了反而够不着地。
To drink they must spread their legs and bend down in an awkward position that makes them vulnerable to predators like Africa's big cats.
想要喝水,它们得岔开腿,笨拙地弯下身子。这时候如果非洲大猫一类的捕食者来了它们就很难逃掉了。
As a result, they get most of their water from the plants that they eat, and only need to drink water every few days.
因此,长颈鹿所需的水分大部分都是从它们吃的植物里获得的,它们只需要隔几天喝一次水。
