The sound of the blue whale, which measures 188 decibels and travels up to 500 miles, is the loudest among all animals, according to the Smithsonian National Zoological Park. On land, the loudest animal sound comes from the howler monkey and can be heard for up to 3 miles.



Scientists also measure the sounds that animals make relative to their size. Using this ratio, the loudest animal sound is produced by an insect called the water boatman.

The giraffe is mainly found in Africa, and in many African cultures the tail of the giraffe is used to make good-luck bracelets. The tail may also be used to make thread, which is used for sewing and stringing beads. This means the giraffe is sometimes killed solely for its tail. The giraffe's survival is threatened not only by poachers, but also by the continued destruction of its habitats. Agricultural activities and the construction of buildings and roads has led to the cutting down of acacia trees, the leaves of which are the main diet of the giraffe. If left to grow and flourish in its natural habitat, a giraffe can live for up to 25 years.
