    Too bad the photo is cropped at the top. I have coincidentally made a very similar photo yesterday in the Lincoln Zoo in Chicago. When I return home, I'll see if I can upload that picture. Posted 14 years ago

The Rothschild Giraffe

The Rothschild Giraffe is one of the most endangered giraffe subspecies with only a few hundred members in the wild. It is named after the famous family of the Tring Museum's founder, Lord Walter Rothschild, and is also known as the Baringo Giraffe, after the Lake Baringo area of Kenya, or as the Ugandan Giraffe.
