Description
Description

East Africa is the perfect place to find the Masai Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchi). This is the largest giraffe species and is separated from its nearest cousin and neighbor, the reticulated giraffe by the jagged spots on its coat rather than polygon spots. These spots are irregular and star-like, and below the knee are buff-colored. Males show a median lump on their foreheads. Some communities call it the Kilimanjaro giraffe and may live in small social groupings. Like most giraffes, the Masai giraffe also has ossicones-skin-covered horns. In addition, males have bald heads and females have thick hair on their heads. The Masai giraffe is a diurnal animal.

Giraffoids, or Giraffoidea, are a superfamily of ruminant mammals that primarily includes today's giraffes and okapis. These creatures are most notably characterized by their long necks and legs, adapted for reaching high foliage. Giraffes inhabit African savannas and open woodlands.
