A composition master piece! I was wondering, does Namibia have any specific sub species of Giraffe? This identification is correct, but if its a sub species, we could possibly get even more specific. An example is the Masai Giraffe in Tanzania. Posted 10 years ago

  Thanks Ferdy ... to be absolutely honest, I do not know. We always just went by Giraffa camelopardalis. These days, as the world is changing, Giraffes are becoming more focused upon and conserved. I do not think there has been much research done on possible sub species in Namibia. So, for now, I would say there is a possibility of a sub species, but with no evidence to support it.
