The yellow-tailed woolly monkey is just one of the world's rarest mammals and are almost extinct. They normally reach adulthood at 4 years and typically live between 10 to 16 years.
It has been speculated that their characteristic spotted pattern provides a certain degree of camouflage. Only 25 to 50% of giraffe calves reach adulthood; the life expectancy is between 20 and 25 years in the wild and 28 years in captivity. The giraffe browses on the twigs of trees, preferring plants of the Mimosa genus; but it appears that it can, without inconvenience, live on other vegetable food.
