Lions At Lunchtime
Lions At Lunchtime
“Annie called. She was almost to the river.
“Just a minute!” he shouted. He wanted to study the giraffes and zebras.
He pulled out the Africa book and found a picture of giraffes. He read: The giraffe is the tallest animal in the world. Its legs alone can be six feet tall, and its hooves can be as big as dinner plates. The giraffe has a very powerful kick, which makes it dangerous to attack. For this reason, lions tend to avoid giraffes.
Jack pulled out his notebook and wrote: He turned the page and read more: Zebras live in family groups. As no two zebras have exactly the same pattern of stripes, every baby zebra must learn its own mother’s pattern.
Jack studied the zebras, trying to see their different patterns. But in the hazy afternoon light, all the stripes made him dizzy.
He blinked to clear his head, then read more: Zebras are the first to cross the river because they eat the coarsest grass. After they’ve thinned down the top layer, the wildebeests arrive and eat the next layer.
