In Real Life
The South African Giraffe or Cape Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis giraffa) is a subspecies of Southern Giraffe found in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Eswatini and Mozambique. Individuals live in savannahs and woodlands. Rough estimates put the population of the Southern African Giraffe to be around 35,000 Southern African Giraffes individuals remaining. South African Giraffe has rounded or blotched spots, some with star-like extensions on a light tan background, running down to the hooves.
Trivia
- IUCN currently recognises only one species of giraffe with nine subspecies. However, a 2020 study showed that depending on the method adopted, different taxonomic hypotheses recognizing from two to six species can be considered for the genus Giraffe.
- South African Giraffe is categorized as a subspecies of Southern giraffe under three or four species taxonomies; as a giraffe species under eight species taxonomy.
