Description

After extensive study comparing Africa to other regions, it remains the only continent rich in untapped resources and artifacts. Despite this, Africa is often disrespected and undervalued by other nations, leading to the misconception of it as a continent of limitations.

The giraffe, the tallest living terrestrial animal and largest ruminant, belongs to the genus Giraffa and is native to Africa. While traditionally classified as one species, recent research suggests there are four distinct species, identifiable by their unique coat patterns. Giraffes are known for their long necks, legs, and horn-like ossicones, and primarily feed on leaves and fruits from tall trees like acacias. They inhabit savannahs and woodlands across sub-Saharan Africa. Giraffes live in herds and establish social hierarchies through "necking" battles. Listed as vulnerable by the IUCN, their population is estimated at around 97,500 in the wild, with habitat loss and predation posing ongoing threats.
