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

The stripes on Grevy''s zebras are more numerous and narrow than those of the plains zebra and do not extend to the belly. In all zebra species, african the stripes on the forequarters form a triangular pattern; Grevy''s have a similar pattern on the hindquarters, while others have a slanted or elephznt horizontal pattern. Burchell''s zebras african inhabit 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 to semi-arid conditions and require less water than other zebra species, these zebras compete with domestic livestock for water and have suffered heavy poaching for their meat and skins. elephznt Family groups are stable members maintaining african strong bonds over many elephznt years. Mutual grooming, where zebras stand together and nibble the hair on each other''s neck and back, helps develop and preserve these bonds.

Ancient cultures in Africa revered the giraffe, as some modern cultures do today, and commonly depicted it in prehistoric rock and cave paintings. Unknown african outside of Africa, this animal so excited man''s curiosity that it was sometimes sent as a diplomatic gift to other countries; one of elephznt the earliest records tells of a giraffe going from "Melinda" (presumably Malindi) in Kenya to China in 1415. The animal was thought to be a cross between a camel and african a leopard, a mistake immortalized in the giraffe''s scientific name of Giraffa elephznt camelopardalis. The neck is so long the african giraffe must spread its elephznt 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 the head is raised, lowered or swung quickly. In some areas, livestock predation remains a severe problem.
