peer agreement (net): +2| the towering browser Жираф, пастбищем которого является крона деревьев Explanation: Либо: Жираф, которому длинная шея позволяет питаться труднодоступной листвой деревьев Я бы обыграла русский вариант, при этом сохраняя смысл. browse, definition: •To feed on leaves, young shoots, and other vegetation; graze.

Вот еще немного на эту же тему: What animals are catorized as browsers? Browsers feed on foliage. Many grazers are also seasonal browsers, when grass is scarce during the dry season they will retreat into woodland and browse on foliage. Many of the small to medium-sized antelopes are semi-browsers, such as the impala, duikers, and gerenuk. Rhinoceros also feed in this way frequently. The giraffe and Okapi are exclusively browsers, their necks being adapted for this very purpose. A grazing giraffe would be extremely vulnerable, but an upright one is quite capable of defending itself and reaching the uppermost branches that are virtually untouched by any other animal. Tapirs and elephants also browse more than they do graze. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090327083341AA... |
