There Are Nine Sub-Species of Giraffes
Of the nine sub-species of giraffes, I filmed three of them in Kenya. 
From left to right, in the photos above, they are the reticulated giraffe in Samburu National Reserve, the Masai giraffe in Masai Mara National Reserve, and Rothschild's Giraffe in Lake Nakuru National Park. The main differences between sub-species is in the coloration and the pattern of their skin and fur.
Answer to last week's question: Giraffes have 9 neck vertebrae, the same number as humans.
How long is a giraffe's tongue?

Many years ago I went on a Safari in Kenya. While most people were thrilled by the big cats I fell in love with the giraffe. When seen in the wild, they have an extra grace and beauty that you can't capture in a zoo. Thanks for a beautiful blog site.
btw, I believe a giraffe's tongue is approximately 20 inches long.

Thanks for ur reply. I love animals. I have been to Lurzern for vacations but this is my first year I have come to live here. My life seems so incomplete without pets. In India I had so many pets running all over my room. My squirrel was my faviorate. I am interested in animals. If u have something interesting please do mail me. I India I used to work projects at school talking about preserving nature for animals. I can always help you out with anything concerning animals. Its so hard for me to go on here without pets. Thank you for yozr reply. I hope you keep in touch.

I'm always looking for great blogs and I must say that I think yours is one of the best I've seen. I think that fy far the critical issue with endangered species is loss of habitat.
