If your thinking what I think DK is it about height

The giraffe is the tallest mammal in the world but only because all water living mammals are measured in Length not height so although technicly a whale beached is longer I don't think that from belly to tip if fin they are more than 5 mts they just have a big waist like me

Think I understand lol

i dont understand at jason

Jason · « **Reply #7 on:** February 06, 2008, 11:21:10 PM »

I might be wrong but I think DK is saying that a Whale is taller than a Giraffe (hence the clue Cardif is in Wales

)
And as both are mammals fair enough but Whales are measured in lenght not height and I have just made a guess that the largest Whale measured from bottom to top of fin is under 5 mts (just a guess)

But what they should have said is the Giraffe is the tallest land based Mammal

Jason the Cardif was coloured BLUE ! Blue Whale

It's hard to find but Jason more or less got it a Blue Whale can be 6 meters which mean a it a good meter taller the a giraffe !
Just because people don't bother with it's height doesn't mean it's not the tallest and where does it say " ON LAND " !?

it may be taller if standing up but when do you see a whale standing up? it is measured by how the mammal physicaly stands/lies a common mistake is that people think it is a error to do it this way altho it isnt the whale is the longest mammal while giraffe is the tallest.

scared to hear from me again people?

Stand/lies ? Sorry I'll just check ........ No just says tallest says nothing about Stand or Lies and ...... wait ...... no can't see where it rules out FLOATS !?
The question where the answer looks like right so you think it's a trick so you pick the other ! So many people do it they never bother rechecking !?

I think is is judged by if it can stand, I have never seen a whale walking about on its flippers, but that would be funny

Again it doesn't say " That can stand" ? So if your right, how tall is someone who in a wheelchair

Also, Giraffe have blue/black tongues. Due to the vegetation they eat.

I just like to point out errors.
If little Johnny look at their site he'll think the answers Giraffe which I know is wrong !?
You may as well use Wikipedia for all the fact ! LOL

Nero · « **Reply #17 on:** February 07, 2008, 01:56:04 PM »

lol wakipedia, true though that could be my kids trying to find their homework answers.

Sx Nutta · « **Reply #19 on:** February 07, 2008, 05:43:38 PM »

I get told off at uni for using wikipedia, as it is not a real resource site, lol

Dark Knight · « **Reply #20 on:** February 08, 2008, 10:45:49 AM »

Just got a reply from them

Our response: Dear Andrew
Thank you for picking this up. I suspect that the information intended to say that the Giraffe is the tallest terrestrial mammal. I will certainly pass this on and ensure that the information is changed appropriately.

My works done !
Right back to ... "The only animal born with horns is " ( a workmate qustion ) Which we all know is wrong there's hundards !

Jason · « **Reply #21 on:** February 08, 2008, 08:24:40 PM »

But most of them don't have horns when they are born the horns grow later

I seem to remember this from biology but can't remember which animal or animals were born with the horns already formed

So your workmate may be right DK

aidanh1 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 08, 2008, 08:39:18 PM »

aidanh1 · « **Reply #23 on:** February 08, 2008, 08:42:48 PM »

Baby giraffes are born 6 feet tall (1.8m) - taller than the average person. They can grow an inch a day and just about double their height in 1 year
