Giraffe is one of the tallest animals on Earth. Giraffes live in the savannas of Africa. The largest population of giraffes today live in reserves. Giraffes are exclusively herbivores. They prefer trees of acacia. Fluid requirement is covered mainly by food, which is why the giraffe can go without drinking for weeks. If he still drinks, it can at one time up to 38 liters of drinking water. Giraffes live alone or in small flocks, not really tied to each other. Like fingerprints, color giraffe is also unique. I think giraffes are very beautiful animals and we must protect its habitat.

Детские стихи про Новый год

ЕЛКА

Ну и елка, просто диво, 
Как нарядна, как красива. 
Ветви слабо шелестят, 
Бусы яркие блестят 
И качаются игрушки - 
Флаги, звездочки, хлопушки. 
Вот огни зажглись на ней, 
Сколько крошечных огней! 
И, верхушку украшая, 
Там сияет, как всегда, 
Очень яркая, большая, 
Пятикрылая звезда. 
(Е.Благинина) 

Д Е К А Б Р Ь

В декабре, в декабре
Все деревья в серебре. 

Нашу речку, словно в сказке, 
За ночь вымостил мороз, 
Обновил коньки, салазки, 
Елку из лесу привез. 
Елка плакала сначала 
От домашнего тепла. 
Утром плакать перестала, 
Задышала, ожила. 
Чуть дрожат ее иголки, 
На ветвях огни зажглись. 
Как по лесенке, по елке
Огоньки взбигают ввысь. 
Блещут золотом хлопушки. 
Серебром звезду зажег
Добежавший до макушки
Самый смелый огонек. 

Год как день вчерашний. 
Над Москвою в этот час
Бьют часы Кремлевской башни
Свой салют - двенадцать раз. 
(С. Маршак) 

Children's poems about New Year

TREE

Well, the Christmas tree, just a miracle,
How Smart is beautiful.
Branches little rustle,
Beads bright shine
And swing toys -
Flags, stars, firecrackers.
Here the lights lit up on it,
How tiny lights!
And the top of the decorating,
It shines, as always,
Very bright, large,
Pyatikrylaya star.
(E.Blaginina)

DECEMBER

In December, in December
All the trees in silver.

Our river, as if in a fairy tale,
Per night paved frost
Updated skates, sled,
Christmas tree out of the forest brought.
Christmas tree crying first
From home heat.
In the morning crying stopped,
I am breathing, alive.
A little shake of her needles,
On the branches of the lights lit up.
As the ladder, on the Christmas tree
Vzbigayut lights up.
Shine gold firecrackers.
Silver star lit
Running to the top
Most bold light.

A year has passed, as yesterday.
Over Moscow in this hour
Kremlin tower clock strikes
His salute - twelve times.
(S. Marshak)
