Two new species of Dinosaurs, one quick moving meat-eater and the other a giant plant-

eater, have been discovered in Antarctica. The 70 million years-old fossil of the carnivore would
have rested for millennium at the bottom of the Antarctica Sea, while the remains of the 30-
meter-long plant-eater were found on the top of a mountain.
The little carnivore about 1.8 meters tall was found on James Ross Island, the coast of the
Antarctica peninsula. Not yet named, the animal probably floated put to the sea after it died and
settled to the bottom of what was then a shallow area of the Weddell Sea. Its bones and teeth
guest it may represent a pollution of two legged carnivores that survived in the Antarctica long
after other predators took over elsewhere on the globe.” For whatever reason, they were still
hanging out on the Antarctic continent.” case said in a statement.
A second team led by William Hammer of Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois,
found the 200 million year old plant eater’s fossil on a mountaintop 13,000 feet (3,900 meters)
high near the Bearmore Glacier. Now known as Mt. Kirk Patrick, the area was once a soft river
bed.

Giraffe is the tallest and most interesting living animal. Male giraffes average about 5.3 meters
but some grow to a height of almost 6 meters. Half of the giraffe’s height comes from its neck, which is
longer than its 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 great deal of dust, the lashes are an important source of protection. It
can also cover its nostrils in order to protect its nose. It has brown spots on tan skin and this colouring
helps protect the giraffe. The giraffe also has two short horns on its head.

Giraffes live in savanna and open woodland, habitats where the available food varies throughout
the year. During the dry season, the animals eat evergreen leaves, but once the rainy season begins,
they switch to new leaves and stems that sprout on deciduous trees. When there is a choice, male and
female giraffes feed in different ways. Males concentrate on leaves from the highest branches, while the
females arch their necks to eat closer to the ground.
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 the 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 at about fifty kilometres per hour or stay to fight with its strong legs.
