In total, about 8,500 individuals survive in the wild. Therefore, in 2018 they were listed as endangered.
A unique reticulated giraffe was born at Brights Zoo in Limestone, Tennessee, USA on July 31st. It is named the only one in the world. This is a woman, where there is not even a place. He is completely brown, according to CBS News.
Zoo director David Bright noted that the last colored giraffe was recorded in 1972 in Tokyo.
“We don’t usually put children in the zoo, but since this is a unique situation, we know that it will bring a lot of attention to the giraffes, which will help us point people in the right direction: “Hey, here’s how you can help giraffes in the wild “International press coverage of our non-patterned giraffe cubs has brought much needed attention to giraffe conservation issues. Wild populations are slowly dying out: 40% of the wild giraffe population has disappeared over the past three decades,” said the zoo’s director.
The zoo has announced a competition for the best name for the giraffe. Among the proposals are Kipiki, Firali, Shaqiri and Jamella.
By the way, the reticulated giraffe is a subspecies of giraffe with brown and orange spots. It lives in the Horn of Africa: in Somalia, in southern Ethiopia and in northern Kenya.
Remember that earlier the hunter cut out the heart of a giraffe and showed it in the net.
