Themselves Aztecs called themselves "Mechin" or "tenochka" and "atlaltelolka" - depending on the city of origin (Tenochtitlan, Tlatelolco). As to the origin of the word "Mexica» (mexica. From which, in fact, is the word "Mexico"), it expressed a very different version of its etymology: the word "Sun" in Nahuatl, the Aztec name of the leader Meshitli (Meksitli, Mekshitli) - type of algae grows in lake Texcoco. The most famous translator of Nahuatl Miguel Leon-Portilla, says that the word means "middle of the Moon." Self-name "tenochki" possibly comes from the name Tenocha - another legendary leader.

The giraffe is the tallest animal in the world. The height of the giraffe can reach 6 meters. The giraffe's neck is as much as 1.5 meters! Like other mammals, it has 7 vertebrae, but they are very elongated. The giraffe has long legs, a narrow chest, a long neck, and a small head with horns. Its long neck allows it to feast on tender leaves from the trees. And the long front legs make it possible to run very fast, even faster than a lion, the only predator that can attack a giraffe. The giraffe has very sharp hooves, with their help it protects itself from enemies. Giraffes have adapted to life in the hottest and driest steppes of Central Africa. It takes a long time to find a sip of water there, and the sun dries and burns out the herbs. To drink water, the giraffe has to spread its front legs wide. A giraffe can go even longer without water than a camel. But he drinks 40 liters at a time.
