Somali Giraffe – Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata
Description
The Somali Giraffe is the one most often found in zoos around the world so chances are you have seen one of them up close. They have a coat with very large spots that often remind people of the color and the shape of the liver. Between each of the spots are lines which can be white or cream in color. With this particular species, the coloring even extends down the legs, and can be a darker shade of brown or even red than the rest of the body.
