Fact #9
Giraffes are ruminants. This means that they have more than one stomach. In fact, giraffes have four stomachs, the extra stomachs assisting with digesting food.
Fact #10
Drinking is one of the most dangerous times for a giraffe. While it is getting a drink it cannot keep a look out for predators and is vulnerable to attack.
Fact #11
Male giraffes sometimes fight with their necks over female giraffes. This is called “necking”. The two giraffes stand side by side and one giraffe swings his head and neck, hitting his head against the other giraffe. Sometimes one giraffe is hit to the ground during a combat.
Fact #12
A giraffe's habitat is usually found in African savannas, grasslands or open woodlands.
Fact #13
The hair that makes up a giraffes tail is about 10 times thicker than the average strand of human hair.
Fact #14
Giraffes have a great sense of sight and smell and are able to run at speeds up to 35 miles per hour.
Fact #15
However, a baby giraffe in the wild is vulnerable because it has a shorter gait and is unable to keep up with the herd if a predator is detected. In the days and weeks following a birth, a mother giraffe will sometimes leave her baby hidden in tall grass for a few hours while she eats and roams.
You can find some thing cool in my blog games, news,...
A hesitant farther tries to play Clash Royale with his son, and comes to some surprising conclusions about free-to-play games.
It is clear I am not the target audience for this game and my aim in playing it was different to most people, so I want to be fair and point out immediately the positives of Clash Royale upfront. The presentation is very, very slick, although derivative, and what there is of the gameplay is surprisingly tense and enjoyable.
I also need to point out that I was biased before I even played it. I instinctively look down my nose at these silly little freemium games that are aimed at those dreadful ‘casual’ players who have sprung up everywhere and quite simply know no better, unlike me and my hand-picked collection of exquisite mid ‘90s strategy games that don’t work properly on modern computers.
So why did I end up playing Clash Royale at all, never mind reviewing it? The fact that GameCentral doesn’t have time to delve into these games, so I am filling a gap in my fave gaming site? The need to try a different genre of game for a change to freshen the gaming palate? Dowser, Jr. and his addicted mates nagging me every five minutes to play it and join their clan? Maybe a little of all the above. But ultimately, the last one.
I’m sure a lot of readers already know more about these games than me so I ask for patience, just like I asked dowser, Jr. for patience when it loaded up and I didn’t have a clue what was going on. Clash Royale is a Tower Defense game. Tower Defense? Is that a bit like… Rampart son? God I’m old. You are given a fantasy set of troops (ground, air, special) which you place in a simplistic arena and fight a timed battle against an opponent who has a similar but not identical set of troops.
Your troops attack the opponent’s three towers and try to destroy them and vice versa. Destroying more towers than them means you win. Drawing means you go into golden goal territory – next tower wins. Lose and… well, not a lot happens really. I quickly realised you have to watch your defence and have counter pieces ready to play to thwart enemy attacks rather than simply going with all out attacks.
In fact my troops managed to win a few tense battles against real world opponents and both times with about five seconds left on the clock – and my god, I nearly punched the air. Over the next few days I played quite a few more battles and that confirmed my first impressions; the battles themselves are short, tense, simplistic, and absorbing.
There are vague shades of the great games in there too. Command & Conquer was the most obvious one that came to mind, but there is even a nod to my fave type of games – strategy games like Civilization and Pharaoh, where you are constantly striving for slight advantages that make the difference to the overall battle.
But of course I soon realised that despite all the different types of troops that was it. There was no more sophistication to the gameplay. Mind you, did I expect anything else really? So I asked dowser, Jr. if I could now join his clan, so that I could go back to the care home I came from. But no. You can only join a clan at level 3. I am still only level 1.
How come? I just won a load of battles so my level must have gone up?
Actually – no Dad.
Why not?
You didn’t actually get any XP for winning any of those battles.
What?! Well, how do you get XP then?
By upgrading troops.
I’m confused. OK – how do I upgrade them?
Opening chests and getting enough cards so your troops level up. Get wrecked Dad!
Really? So how do I get more chests?
Well, either win battles or actually, Dad the game gives you them for free on a regular basis. You don’t have do anything. Just wait.
That didn’t sound like what I’ve heard about these freemium games. Something for nothing? I thought they were all about nothing for something. And yet as I looked in the online shop of the game I saw staring back at me the evil empire, the fully developed spirit-crushing freemium model that is surely wrecking my beloved hobby once and for all. So what was going on? It turns out Clash Royale is all about gameplay after all. But the name of game it really wants to play with you is called ‘the waiting game’.
I guess a lot (maybe all) freemium models must work this way, but having no experience I am happy to hear differently if my conclusion is wrong. The models success seems to depend on that all too human flaw we call impatience. I imagine the programmers must have an image in their head of their ideal consumer: young kids, modern children, glued to screens who have an absolute and utter inability to wait for anything at all in life – and will therefore get their parents, via nag power, to pay real money to short circuit all this dreadful real world waiting to progress in the game and level up.
After all, the chests they give you for free are basic ones; who knows what goodies await in the big shiny magical and very expensive chests in the shop.
What they perhaps haven’t calculated though is how well this waiting game fits my life. In fact, I must praise this game for fitting into my lifestyle far better than GTA V ever did. I have a wife, kids, dog, mortgage, job – the whole catastrophe. When Clash Royale tells me it’s three whole hours to wait before I can open that new chest (but you can pay to open it quicker) I say OK, I can wait. When it says eight hours to wait before I can open that special shiny chest (but you can pay to open it quicker) I say no problem I’ve got lots to do.
When it says next chest in 12 hours I say, ‘12 hours? That will fly past’. 12 hours is a heck of a long time in dowser, Jr.’s life. But it’s not a long time in mine.
So that now left me in a strange situation, one I couldn’t remember being in in a game. The gameplay, which I think I have justifiably praised, became redundant. There was no need to battle. There was no need to win and get another chest, because every few hours the game gave me a free chest to open anyway. So I got on with life and waited for the upgrade messages to appear on the status bar, telling me a chest was waiting for me to open and slowly and randomly enough of my characters levelled up to level 3.
Once this mighty barrier was reached I could finally join ‘da bosses’ clan and fulfil my parent-son bond once again. I know that isn’t the aim of many people who will play this game, but it was my aim.
I did also ask dowser, Jr. what were the benefits of joining the clan.
Well it means you can chat and stuff, he told me. Isn’t that great? We can chat online and stuff. That’s progress. Clash Royale and its ilk, that must be progress too. I must give it a score.
What else can I give it but… free out of ten (sorry).

According to a list that was released by scientists at the end of 2015, some behaviors may increase the risks of an early death.
It is generally known that a diet that lacks protein, an excessive consumption of alcohol or smoking can cause an untimely death. However, scientists have now included other factors that may also negatively affect our life expectancy, such as sitting for more than seven hours per day or sleeping more than is actually necessary.
Some scientists at the University of Sydney, Australia have analyzed these behavioral patterns and according to the data that they’ve obtained and published in the journal PLOS Medicine, the results are alarming.
A person who shows all the behaviors highlighted previously is five times more likely to die earlier in a period of six years than someone who is leading a healthier life without engaging in any of these excessive habits.
Sitting for a long time, hardly any exercise and sleeping for more than nine hours a day could pretty much be considered fatal. According to the scientists, this kind of behavior is responsible for almost one third of deaths that have been analyzed in the study.
More than 230,000 people at the age of 45 years have participated in this study over a period of six years.
"In order to examine specific patterns of lifestyle and risk behavior, 96 variables were established representing all the possible combinations of smoking, consuming too much alcohol, lack of exercise, unbalanced diet, sleep deprivation and excessive sleeping as well as too many hours of sitting around.”, stated Dr. Melody Ding of the University of Sydney.
"Excessive sleep periods and sleep deprivation were separated into two different risk factors, for their connection to mortality can be explained by different mechanisms. The analysis included and examined four risk factors that were already known as well as two that were completely new: Sitting around for an excessive period and too much sleep. "
This new study was published after US researchers had warned the public about the dangers of spending too much time in front of the television. This habit is related to the eight major causes of death in the United States, such as cancer, hepatitis and Parkinson's.
Researchers at the National Cancer Institute in Michigan found that people who watch more than 3 hours of television a day, are not only at a higher risk of suffering from cancer or heart problems - commonly associated with a sedentary lifestyle - but are also more likely to develop diabetes, pneumonia, Parkinson's disease or hepatitis. Moreover, people who show these behavioral patterns are 15% more likely to die from common complications than a person who spends less than an hour in front of the TV.
At the beginning of 2015, the University of Cambridge warned the population of the dangers of sleeping more than eight hours a day. The scientists discovered that excessive sleep could double the chances of having a stroke.
What is still unclear though, is whether the people that participated in the study were sleeping more because they were already sick or if the extra hours of sleep had a negative impact on their body.
The sleep expert Dr Neil Stanley, however, ensures that too much sleep can be harmful, especially if someone tries to catch up on last night’s sleep. He believes that one has to find the perfect balance.
Even though excessive sleep alone is not the biggest concern, it still hinders us from leading a healthy life. It makes it difficult to keep track of sport activities during the day and to manage a healthy diet.
Here are the best Android games making you addictive immediately. Get it!! Alto’s Adventure
Alto’s Adventure is about rescuing runaway llamas by skiing down a snowy slope. The goal is to collect as many llamas as possible and stay on your skis. You’ve probably played “endless runner” games before, but this is an “endless skier.” Tap to jump over rocks and obstacles, or to hop up and grind on rooftops. Get big air and do a flip, but don’t land on your head. Besides being addictive, Alto’s Adventure is also stunningly beautiful. Big Hunter
In “Big Hunter” you have to hunt down mighty mammoths to feed your starving tribe. Each day brings new challenges to the hunt. Hitting the mammoth with a spear requires a combination of power and accuracy. Throwing a spear is basically the same as slinging an Angry Bird. Just pull back and aim. But the mammoth isn’t going to sit there and let you hit him. He’s very mad and charging right at you. Check out factoflife Burger – The Game
Burger – The Game is a title that’s less about food and more about physics. All you have to do is stack as many burger patties on top of a bun as you can before it topples over. You do this by flinging patties with a skillet. Tap once to drop a patty on the skillet. Tap a second time to fling the patty in the air and (hopefully) squarely on the bun. You can unlock different types of patties, but the gameplay stays the same. Dashy Knight
Dashy Knight is the perfect combination of addictive gameplay, simple controls, and nostalgic graphics. You play as an 8-bit knight constantly running across the screen. There are castle towers and archers in your path. To avoid and destroy these obstacles you have two options: jump or dash. Timing is key as one false move could be certain death. Survive as long as possible to get a high score. Diep.io
Last year, a game called Agar.io was one of the most popular mobile titles. Diep.io is made by the same people and it has a lot of the same ideas. This game puts you in control of a tank instead of a blob. Destroy enemies and blocks to level up and improve your tanks weapons and abilities. If you play your cards right you could find yourself atop the leaderboard. Dots & Co
Dots & Co is another dots-based game from the people who made Dots and Two Dots. The gameplay in Dots & Co is largely the same as previous Dots games, which means it’s just as addictive. The game slowly introduces more concepts as you play. One of the new features in Dots & Co is “Companions.” These characters have special powers that can help you solve levels. The variety of levels and different environments keep things fresh. iTrousers
iTrousers is definitely the silliest game on this list. It’s a little like the game QWOP, but you don’t control the thighs and calves independently. Instead, you program each leg like you’re building a robot, adjusting things like foot angle and step force. These presets are then used to navigate the trousers, step by step, through obstacles. The goal is to walk as far as possible. Mekorama
Mekorama is easiest described as a mix between Monument Valley and Minecraft. It has the 3D puzzles of Monument Valley, but with the design and creation tools of Minecraft. You can move the camera around to change your perspective, which is necessary to solve the puzzles. The goal is to get your tiny robot to the portal, but to do so you’ll be tasked with finding your way through multiple obstacles. Get more news games on agreview
