Kenyan Wildlife
-
- Giraffes can be 19 feet (6 meters) tall. No two giraffes have the same pattern of spots
-
- Zebras belong to the horse family. Each zebra has its own unique pattern of those distinctive stripes.
-
- Elephants use their trunks to help them keep cool. They often squirt a trunkful of mud or dust to create a protective layer of dirt on their skin (think elephant sunscreen!)
-
- Elephants use their tusks to get food by digging up roots and prying bark off trees.
-
- Like most noses, trunks are for smelling. But they’re also for touching and grasping.

-
- Because of the changing land and more frequent droughts, the Masai tend to rear camels instead of cattle
