Abstract
Since the giraffe was first used by Lamarck to rationalize his theory of evolution, the organism has been a textbook example of the most simple and obvious applications of evolutionary theory. This paper examines theories relating to the evolution of the giraffe. It examines the processes of natural and sexual selection to see how they apply to the theory of the giraffe's evolution.
From the Paper
"The elemental difference between natural selection and sexual selection is that the latter form takes place within a population. Sexual selection can often result in characteristics that hinder an organism's chances of survival, but simultaneously increase their chances of finding a mate. Since evolution is driven by the amount of offspring produced, both forms of selection are extremely important to the process of evolution."

From the Paper
"Giraffes, (biological name Giraffa camelopardalis), are the tallest animals on earth. Males grow up to 18 feet in height, females to about 14 feet. An adult giraffe weighs about 1,800 pounds. They live in the subsaharan grasslands of Africa. This paper will look at the mating customs and strategies, reproduction, and the parental and alloparental rearing of the offspring of giraffes.
Giraffes are individualistic in nature, and do not form cohesive herds or stable family units. Individuals wander from herd to herd, and herds take on a different makeup at different times. Changes occur daily in some herds as giraffes leave one group to join another. Herds may be made up of either females and their young of both sexes, young and mature males, a mixed group of males and females, or a family unit of a mature bull..."

Abstract
The paper states that this painting is a typical work of Salvador Dali's and that his personality is present in this work. The paper discusses that the painting is a combination of symbolism and paranoia. The writer posits that the focus of the painting is the burning giraffe, even though it is painted in the background. The writer suggests many interpretations for the painting, then posits that it is unimportant as the painting is not realistic, and can therefore be interpreted however the viewer wants to. In conclusion, the writer states that the painting is fascinating and ugly at the same time and that surrealism fails if it needs to explain itself.
From the Paper
"Now, to more closely examine the ghouls in the foreground, sitting at what looks like a banquet table containing only a little statuette. Is it the Christ figure? Some saint being tortured? What makes trying to make sense out of a surrealist painting so difficult is that the artist has a conception he does not want to share with those seeing the paining, once it is out of his mind and on canvas. The whole meaning of surrealism is that it is above and beyond realism. A cat is not necessarily a cat, a cloud not necessarily a cloud, except in the perception of the viewer. Those who look at surrealist works have to bring something with them: either an open mind, or a pre-conceived idea of what one is looking for."
