The fact that this is the first description of dwarf giraffe is just another example of how little we know about these charismatic animals”, Dr Fennessy said. In the Silly Symphonies short, "Elmer Elephant", the titular character befriends Joe Giraffe, an elderly giraffe who wears several collars. The elderly giraffe empathizes with Elmer for being teased by the other animals, as they used to tease him as well. He and the pelicans also assist Elmer in putting out a fire that breaks out at Tillie Tiger's house. Clegg, A. (1986). "Some Aspects of Tswana Cosmology". Botswana Notes and Records. 18: 33–37.

Giraffe are the tallest animal alive today. Average adult heights range between 4.3–6.1m (14.1–20ft) tall, with males being noticeably larger than females. Giraffe are gregarious animals that tend to live in family groups comprised of females and their offspring, in loose aggregations of unrelated bachelor males, or as solitary adult males. Early biologists suggested giraffes were mute and unable to create enough air flow to vibrate their vocal folds. [101] To the contrary; they have been recorded to communicate using snorts, sneezes, coughs, snores, hisses, bursts, moans, grunts, growls and flute-like sounds. [44] [101] During courtship, males emit loud coughs. Females call their young by bellowing. Calves will emit bleats, mooing and mewing sounds. [44] Snorting and hissing is associated with vigilance. [102] During nighttime, giraffes appear to hum to each other. [103] There is some evidence that giraffes use Helmholtz resonance to create infrasound. [104] They also communicate with body language. Dominant males display to other males with an erect posture; holding the chin and head up while walking stiffly and displaying their side. The less dominant show submissiveness by dropping the head and ears, lowering the chin and fleeing. [44] Reproduction and parental care Angolan giraffes mating in Namibia

Camelopard" / k ə ˈ m ɛ l ə ˌ p ɑːr d/ is an archaic English name for the giraffe; it derives from the Ancient Greek καμηλοπάρδαλις ( kamēlopárdalis), from κάμηλος ( kámēlos), " camel", and πάρδαλις ( párdalis), " leopard", referring to its camel-like shape and leopard-like colouration.

Blue whale penises range between eight and ten feet, with a foot-long diameter. Each of its testes along can weigh up to 150 pounds and can ejaculate gallons of sperm in a single go.Lee, Derek E; Bond, Monica L. (2018).

Sometimes one just isn’t enough. Or so it seems for the echidna, a spiny egg-laying mammal, which has evolved a four-headed penis. During copulation, echidna penises operate on a part-time schedule: half the penis temporarily shuts down while the other two heads are responsible for fertilization. But those extra two heads aren’t there just to show off. Next time the echidna mates, he’ll alternate which half he uses. During these surveys, the right side of each giraffe was photographed so their unique and unchanging coat patterns could be used to identify specific individuals. Because giraffe show conspicuous sexual dimorphism, each individual was also classified by sex and age class (calf: 0–12 months; subadult female: 1–3 years; subadult male: 1–6 years; adult female: 3+ years; adult male: 6+ years) using an assortment of characters including body size and limb proportions. The Masai giraffe ( G. c. tippelskirchi) can be found in central and southern Kenya and in Tanzania. [1] Its coat patterns are highly diverse, with spots ranging from mostly rounded and smooth edged to oval shaped and incised or loped edged. [43] A median lump is usually present in males. [27] :54 [44] A total of 32,550 are thought to remain in the wild, [1] and about 100 are living in zoos. [28] This giraffe is known as the Rothschild’s giraffe in honor of Walter Rothschild. Mr. Rothschild founded the Tring Library and was a noted zoologist. He had many species named after him, including over 150 types of insects, 58 species of birds, and 17 mammals.It was during one of these surveys in Uganda when a dwarf male Nubian giraffe, Giraffa camelopardalis camelopardalis, was first photographed on 15 December 2015. Using the derived camera body specific linear relationships between distance to the giraffe and the associated pixel size at a given focal length extracted from embedded Exif files of the digital image, we calculated the estimated dimensions to the nearest centimeter for each of the featured morphological traits.

Random mutations in the genetic code can cause dwarfism, but it can also be linked to low genetic diversity or inbreeding, reports the Times. Harrison, D. F. N. (1995).
