Giraffa camelopardalis = scientific name of Giraffe
The world’s tallest animal, a giraffe can easily look into a second-storey window. Its height, which can be up to 4 m, allows it to browse on high foliage, as well as to employ its highly developed sense of sight to see farther than any terrestrial creature. This “bird’s-eye view” is also the animal’s principal defence against predators, allowing it to spot danger. Their buff-coloured hide, with spots of darker brown, provides excellent camouflage, which is another aid to their survival.
The movement and position of the animal’s neck are used to express emotion. When it is angry, a giraffe will lower its neck until it is almost horizontal. In submission, it stretches its neck and raises its nose in the air.

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정

Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.

❌ The giraffe's neck is too much long.

✅ The giraffe's neck is extremely long.

한국어에서 "너무 많이 길다"를 직역하여 "too much long"이라고 하는 경우가 많습니다. 영어에서 형용사를 강조할 때는 "too much" 대신 "extremely," "very," 또는 "incredibly"를 사용합니다. "Too much"는 명사 앞에만 쓸 수 있고 (too much water), 형용사 앞에는 쓸 수 없습니다.

Discussion

Discuss with your teacher.
선생님과 토론해 보세요.

The passage says a giraffe's height helps it spot predators from far away. Can you think of other animals that use a physical feature as their main defence?
지문에 따르면 기린은 키 덕분에 멀리서 포식자를 발견할 수 있다고 합니다. 신체적 특징을 주요 방어 수단으로 사용하는 다른 동물을 생각해 볼 수 있나요?
Giraffes express anger and submission through their neck position. How do humans use body language to show emotions without words?
기린은 목의 위치로 분노와 복종을 표현합니다. 사람은 말 없이 어떤 몸짓 언어로 감정을 표현하나요?
The giraffe's camouflage helps it survive in the wild. If you could have one animal adaptation — camouflage, height, speed, or something else — which would you choose and why?
기린의 보호색은 야생에서 생존에 도움이 됩니다. 만약 동물의 적응 능력 하나를 가질 수 있다면 — 보호색, 큰 키, 빠른 속도 등 — 무엇을 선택하겠고 그 이유는 무엇인가요?
