Northern Giraffe: Elegance on the Savannah

The northern giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) is a towering and graceful creature that roams the African savannahs and woodlands. Known for their long necks and unique coat patterns, each giraffe’s markings are as individual as fingerprints.

These giraffes are herbivores, feeding primarily on leaves from tall trees, which their height and specialized tongues allow them to access with ease. Despite their serene demeanor, northern giraffes are endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. Conservation initiatives aim to secure their habitats and educate communities about their ecological importance.
