I understand animals travel in herds, but there is something special about giraffe herds running across plain open fields. These free printables and unit studies about giraffes will help your homeschoolers learn all about these majestic animals.
I really enjoy just watching giraffes. They are one of those animals that are larger than life. I make connections with animals this majestic and this large, with a glimpse of the magnitude of what dinosaurs may have seemed like.
I am not the biggest animal lover out there, but giraffes surely are one of the finest sights to see in the animal kingdom.
The giraffe is a perfect depiction of God’s handiwork. This is what Ken Ham says about an evolutionist’s dilemma with giraffes:
“How many giraffes blew their brains to pieces when bending down—how many passed out as they lifted their heads, becoming food for the lions—until the special features somehow evolved? It’s obvious that the very first giraffes had to have these special features right from the beginning. If not, they wouldn’t have survived to pass them on to their offspring!”
