**Problem:** There are 12 more giraffes than tigers. There are 5 times as many flamingos as tigers. 1. Let the number of tigers be $t$. 2. Since there are 12 more giraffes than tigers, the number of giraffes is: $$g = t + 12$$ 3. Since there are 5 times as many flamingos as tigers, the number of flamingos is: $$f = 5t$$ 4. The problem states the relationships clearly, so the animals counts are expressed in terms of $t$ as above. **Final answers:** $$g = t + 12$$ $$f = 5t$$
