According to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, the height of adult male giraffes (also called âbullsâ) and female giraffes (also called âcowsâ) differ considerably. The height of a bull can typically reach up to 18 feet. The shoulder height of a male giraffe averages about 11 feet.
Distribution. The majority of Hawksbill Sea Turtles live in the tropical areas of both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Yet there are also large numbers of them in colder areas including around Massachusetts and New Jersey in the United States. They love to be in rocky areas and mainly stay in the shallow waters.
Several characteristics of the hawksbill sea turtle distinguish it from other sea turtle species. Its elongated, tapered head ends in a beak-like mouth (from which its common name is derived), and its beak is more sharply pronounced and hooked than others. The hawksbill's forelimbs have two visible claws on each flipper.
