RMBFY9RH–MEDIEVAL BATTERING RAMS as shown in a 19th century engraving

An old illustration of an ancient battering ram used in warfare for demolition of walls, destruction of castle doors etc, especially during sieges. This one (known as a capped ram, using a metal re-enforced tip) was manually operated, though some were encased in an arrow-proof, fire-resistant canopy inside which the log could be swung from suspended chains or ropes. One train of thought is that the famous children's rhyme, Humpty Dumpty, is about a type of large battering ram used in sieges in the English Civil War. Capped rams were also once used in mining operations. Stock Photo

Giraffes are equipped with a heart the size of a basketball which pumps the blood all the way to the brain, assisted by some sophisticated plumbing, a series of one–way valves that ensure no backflow between heartbeats. Giraffes have few enemies. They can run at over 50 kph, sufficient to out–run most predators. If cornered, they can kick with great power. They can also use their heads as battering rams. Despite their huge size, giraffes are superbly camouflaged. When they feed, their dappled colours mimic the interplay of sunlight through leaves and branches. Young are born after a gestation Stock Photo
