1 1 Read about Ricky’s holiday on safari and answer the
questions below.
On the last day of our trip,
we were really lucky. We saw
some cheetahs, a mother with her three cubs.
They usually have three or four babies.
We looked at them through binoculars because
we didn’t want to disturb them. The females
usually live alone or with their cubs but the males live in small
groups with their brothers. Cheetahs are like leopards but are
slimmer and faster. A cheetah can run up to 120 kilometres an
hour but only for short distances.
We also saw a lot of giraffes. The adults can be five or six metres
tall and even a new-born baby (a calf) is about one metre eighty – that’s
almost as tall as my dad! Giraffes live longer than a lot of animals – as long
as twenty-five years!
I’ve got lots of photos on my phone. Come and see me after class if you
want to see more!
