Holidays in Great Britain There are fewer public holidays in Great Britain than in other European countries. They are Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, May Day, Spring Bank Holiday, and Summer Bank Holiday. Public holidays in Britain are called bank holidays, because the banks as well as most of the offices and shops are closed. New Years Day is not such favourable in Britain than Christmas. But in Scotland Hogmanay, New Years Eve is the biggest festival of the year.Besides public holidays, there are some special festivals in Great Britain. One of them takes place on the 5th of November. On that day, in 1605, Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill King James I. He didn't succeed. The King's men found the bomb, took Guy Fawkes to the Tower and cut off his head.
Giraffe is one of the tallest animals on Earth. Giraffes live in the savannas of Africa. The largest population of giraffes today live in reserves. Giraffes are exclusively herbivores. They prefer trees of acacia. Fluid requirement is covered mainly by food, which is why the giraffe can go without drinking for weeks. If he still drinks, it can at one time up to 38 liters of drinking water. Giraffes live alone or in small flocks, not really tied to each other. Like fingerprints, color giraffe is also unique. I think giraffes are very beautiful animals and we must protect its habitat.
