From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The giraffe (Giraffa) is a genus of African even-toed ungulate mammals, the tallest living terrestrial animals and the largest ruminants. The genus consists of eleven species including Giraffa camelopardalis, the type species. Seven of these species are extinct, prehistoric species known from fossils, while four are still extant....

The giraffe's chief distinguishing characteristics are its extremely long neck and legs, its horn-like ossicones, and its distinctive coat patterns. It is classified under the family Giraffidae, along with its closest extant relative, the okapi. Each of the four species is distinguished by its coat patterns and genetics. Its scattered range extends from Chad in the north to South Africa in the south, and from Niger in the west to Somalia in the east. Giraffes usually inhabit savannas and woodlands. Their food source is leaves, fruits and flowers of woody plants, primarily acacia species, which they browse at heights most other herbivores cannot reach. Giraffes may be preyed on by lions, leopards, spotted hyenas and African wild dogs. Giraffes live in herds of related females and their offspring, or bachelor herds of unrelated adult males, but are gregarious and may gather in large aggregations. Males establish social hierarchies through "necking", which are combat bouts where the neck is used as a weapon. Dominant males gain mating access to females, which bear the sole responsibility for raising the young.

The giraffe has intrigued various cultures, both ancient and modern, for its peculiar appearance, and has often been featured in paintings, books, and cartoons. It is classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as Vulnerable to extinction, and has been extirpated from many parts of its former range. Giraffes are still found in numerous national parks and game reserves but estimations as of 2016 indicate that there are approximately 97,500 members of Giraffa in the wild, with around 1,144 in captivity.

Molly (and Todd) on Monday

Molly here,

We are still here.  We are all finished with the medicines.  We have been still sleeping a lot but we have been healing and we feel good.

We are not "enjoying the weather" but that is OK.  This week we have had rain, snow, ice, fog, more snow, more fog and on Christmas we had thunder.

That meant that there was also MUD.

This week Jon and Liz came.

They got to get BG's car.

They live in Arizona and BG lets them take his car so we had to get a lot of groceries.

Todd was not a "good boy"...He went into his (I am a little scared puppy mode.)

Liz learned where my "scratching spot" is.  She gave me a lot of scratches.



Todd ran around...I don't think he ever did catch Todd.

But we enjoyed watching them.


Jon stepped on something and he was not happy with that.

And I "snatched" all the treats on the table.


I ate them all and Todd didn't get them.

Then we had more snow.

And we can always watch out the window.

and sleep.

Our neighbor was out in the fog.  BG was trying to take some "artsy" pictures of her.

We always bark at each other.  But in this occasion it was foggy and quiet and BG wouldn't let us out because he was taking these pictures.

And here is another fog photo.

And here she is watching us.

And these are our Christmas presents.  Rope balls.  Todd grabbed them both.

That's OK.  Merry Christmas.
