Reticulated giraffe The species was described and given its binomial name "Giraffa reticulata" by British zoologist William Edward de Winton in 1899. Morten Thrane Brünnich classified the genus "Giraffa" in 1772.
Reticulated giraffe All living giraffes were originally classified as one species by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. Once considered a subspecies of the conglomerate "Giraffa camelopardalis" species, recent studies in 2016 identified the reticulated giraffe as a separate monotypic species of a reorganised "Giraffa" genus.
Reticulated giraffe Giraffes are very good at conserving water in the hot African climate. They are able to conserve and maintain their body temperature in part because of their shape; their long thin legs allow heat to release quickly. The leaves they eat are actually a good source of water, and can allow them to go days without a drink. Giraffes have a difficult time lowering their massive heads to the ground to drink, and this also leaves them vulnerable to predators. They are able to reach water by spreading their front legs and stretching their necks down.
Reticulated giraffe It was thought that their necks have grown this long for eating at the very top of trees. Through many studies, this thought was proven wrong. Research was conducted and proves that giraffes eat from shoulder height. They eat the leaves of the Acacia tree. These trees are really tall; therefore, the giraffe is really only able to reach the branches at shoulder height. Giraffes also use this elongated body part to attract mates through a process called necking. Another advantage of a long neck, though not the primary reason for the adaptation, is that they are able to see predators from far across the savanna where the shorter grazers will not be able to see over the tall brush.
Reticulated giraffe To help win over the female, the males use their ossicones on the top of their head, like a ram, and they are quite capable of breaking their opponents bones.
