"May life be kind and treat you well"
A lil something different than my usual stuff. Found out about the new giraffe that just dropped and remembered a pair of uniquely colored giraffes that also got news coverage years ago. Though while life was unkind to the two white giraffes as they were poached from the while, lil brown spotless girl has much more chances of support.
Personally I think her name should be Baked Bean.

Look, being two meters taller than your peers in middle school is kind of a traumatic experience. You wouldn't understand.

First of all鈥攇iraffes are SO WEIRD anatomically when you really look at them. Their necks are so thin where they鈥檙e attached to their heads.
There are (disputably) nine subspecies of giraffe, mostly distinguished by their patterns of spots! Also, fossils show that giraffes roamed in West Asia and India in prehistoric times. This particular subspecies has been hit by drought and civil unrest in its area, causing populations to go down.
But, my question is鈥擶hy do we not still call them the CAMELEOPARD?
