Test Doc


Dear Internet,

I am SO excited to learn about Zoho Writer! I suspect I will end up using almost all of the features for budgeting spreadsheets, presentations, and hopefully to create my own wiki!

I'm going to add a little research section just to explore the formatting tools. I hope you enjoy it.

Love Always,

Jess

Giraffa camelopardalis So Pretty!

Common name: Giraffe

Giraffes are one of the world's tallest mammals. They are well known for their long necks, long legs, and spotted patterns. Giraffes have small "horns" or knobs on top of their heads that grow to be about five inches long. These knobs are used to protect the head in fights. Male giraffes are larger than females. Males weigh between 2,400 and 3,000 pounds and stand up to 19 feet tall! Female giraffes weigh between 1,600 and 2,600 pounds and grow to be 16 feet tall.

Healthy giraffes live about 25 years in the wild. Giraffes can be found in central, eastern and southern Africa. Their long necks help giraffes eat leaves from tall trees, typically acacia trees. If they need to, giraffes can go for several days without water. Instead of drinking, giraffes stay hydrated by the moisture from leaves. Giraffes are hunted for their meat, coat and tails. The tail is prized for good luck bracelets, fly whisks and string for sewing beads. The coat is used for shield coverings. Habitat destruction and fragmentation are also threats to giraffe populations.
