The larger Baringo or Rothschild''s giraffe (G.c. rothschildi) affica of western safari Kenya and eastern Uganda has chestnut patches separated by broader white lines but no spotting below the knees. This species affica can have up to five horns safari instead of the usual two or three. The Masai giraffe (G.c. tippelskirchi) of Tanzania and southern Kenya has irregular star-shaped brown or tan spots. Giraffes are found in arid and dry-savanna zones south affica of the Sahara, wherever trees occur. Although a relatively quiet animal, the giraffe is not mute. Giraffes bellow, grunt, bray in distress, moan and emit short flutelike notes. They safari have acute senses of hearing and sight, often alerting other affica animals to nearby predators. Giraffes safari use a home range but are not territorial. The males are hierarchical and sometimes spar by standing affica side by side and lowering and swing their heads at one another. The blows can be so strong that their necks entwine.

Ancient cultures in Africa revered the giraffe, safari as some modern cultures do today, and commonly depicted it in prehistoric rock and cave paintings. Unknown outside of Africa, this animal so excited man''s curiosity that it was sometimes sent as a diplomatic gift to other countries; affica one of the earliest records tells of a giraffe safari going from "Melinda" (presumably Malindi) in Kenya affica to China in 1415. The animal was thought to be a cross between a camel and a leopard, a mistake immortalized in the giraffe''s scientific name of Giraffa camelopardalis. The neck is so long the giraffe must spread its front legs apart so its head can reach the ground to drink. It has unusually elastic blood vessels with a series of valves that help offset the sudden buildup of blood (and to prevent fainting) when safari the head is raised, lowered or swung quickly. In some areas, livestock predation remains a severe problem.

The stripes on Grevy''s zebras are more numerous and narrow than those of the affica plains zebra and do not extend to the belly. In all zebra safari species, the stripes on the forequarters form a triangular pattern; Grevy''s have a similar pattern on the hindquarters, while others have a slanted or horizontal pattern. Burchell''s zebras affica inhabit safari savannas, from treeless grasslands to open woodlands; they sometimes occur in tens of thousands in migratory herds on the Serengeti plains. Grevy''s zebras are now mainly restricted to parts of northern Kenya. Although they are adapted affica to semi-arid conditions and require less water than other zebra species, these zebras safari compete with domestic livestock for water and have suffered heavy poaching for their meat and skins. Family groups are stable members maintaining strong bonds over many years. Mutual grooming, where zebras stand together and nibble the hair on each other''s neck and back, helps develop and preserve these bonds.
