interesting fact is that their tongues are a blue-black color to keep it from becoming sunburned. Because giraffe’s tongues are really long‚ they’re also able to clean their ears with them. “Giraffes live in open habitats‚ such as savannas and grasslands because of their height and natural diet” (Morgaine Michaels).

approximately 30‚000 years ago. Acosta’s theory was that Asians crossed through Beringia which is a huge subcontinent that used to exist 70‚000 to 10‚000 years ago due to the glaciers locking up massive amounts of water‚ which allowed for a lush treeless‚ grassland easily passable but separated by the Bering Straits today. Although Acosta’s theory is the most acknowledged today due to archeology‚ physical anthropology‚ DNA analysis‚ and linguistics other theories arose. The Beringia Theory or commonly called

put up more surveillance to save Asian and African Elephants from going extinct. Putting guard towers would increase protection of the homeland of the elephants. Putting around the clock guards at these towers will keep poachers from entering the grasslands. All the towers are approximately 2.5 miles apart to keep the hunters from sneaking by the less protected land. By doing this poachers and hunters will become more aware that we are serious about keeping the elephants safe from everybody. A fence
