Rothschild's giraffe

In addition, Rothschild's giraffe displays no markings on the lower leg, giving it the impression of wearing white stockings.

[2] Another distinguishing feature of Rothschild's giraffe, although harder to spot, is the number of ossicones on the head.

The meat of the Rothschild giraffe is supposedly very sweet and its bones contain a specific type of fat that traditional cultures use as medicinal components.

[11] Isolated populations of Rothschild's giraffes live in savannahs, grasslands, and open woodlands of Uganda and Kenya.

They are possibly regionally extinct from South Sudan and northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Rothschild's giraffes mate at any time of the year and have a gestation period of 14 to 16 months, typically giving birth to a single calf.

Two dwarf giraffes standing only 9.5 feet (2.9 m) tall have been spotted in Murchison Falls National Park.

[16]Three Rothschild's giraffes were electrocuted by low-hanging power lines in Soysambu conservancy in Nakuru, Kenya.
