Giraffidae series | 长颈鹿科 | liewwk Nature – 1 [update 20250122]

Giraffes are divided into numerous subspecies, although the most well-known are the Maasai, reticulated and Rothschild’s giraffes. In Southern Africa, however, all giraffe are “southern giraffe.” Subspecies differ only in their blotch pattern, color and distribution; all other characteristics are the same.

It’s such an adorable creature! Seeing it in the wild made us pause for a while to capture some photos of this charming animal—even though we were here primarily for the birds. Absolutely delightful!

它真是个可爱的生物!在野外看到它时,虽然我们主要是为了观鸟而来的, 我们停下来蛮久拍了好一会儿照片,但它实在太可爱了!
