In the Silly Symphonies short, "Elmer Elephant", the titular character befriends Joe Giraffe, an elderly giraffe who wears several collars. The elderly giraffe empathizes with Elmer for being teased by the other animals, as they used to tease him as well. He and the pelicans also assist Elmer in putting out a fire that breaks out at Tillie Tiger's house. Graïc, J-M; Peruffo, A; Ballarin, C; Cozzi, B (2017). "The brain of the giraffe ( Giraffa camelopardalis): surface configuration, encephalization quotient, and analysis of the existing literature". The Anatomical Record. 300 (8): 1502–1511. doi: 10.1002/ar.23593. PMID 28346748. S2CID 3634656. This giraffe is known as the Rothschild’s giraffe in honor of Walter Rothschild. Mr. Rothschild founded the Tring Library and was a noted zoologist. He had many species named after him, including over 150 types of insects, 58 species of birds, and 17 mammals. The Chinese Emperor Zhu Di (also known as the Yongle Emperor) imported a small herd of giraffes via Indian Ocean trade routes. Many historians believe he was banking on the Qilin's status as, among other things, an omen of good leadership; having come to power via a major succession crisis, the Yongle Emperor would have naturally welcomed any way of bolstering the legitimacy of his rule. Or maybe he just thought giraffes were neat. Habitat loss is one of many human-caused threats facing giraffe today. Although giraffe do not compete with cattle, deforestation to create farms and ranches, and for charcoal production, combined with killing for bushmeat markets and for illegal trade in their body parts — and even being hit by cars — all caused a dramatic 40% decline of giraffe numbers in just the past 30 years.Wood, C.

PMID 31221828. Zoo Lane: Georgina the giraffe tells heartwarming tales to a girl named Lucy and acts like her friend/mother figure. The local, seasonal presence of large herds of migratory wildebeests and zebras reduces predation pressure on giraffe calves and increases their survival probability. [119] In turn, it has been suggested that other ungulates may benefit from associating with giraffes, as their height allows them to spot predators from further away. Zebras were found to assess predation risk by watching giraffes and spend less time looking around when giraffes are present. [120]

Their tongue is long and tough, allowing them to strip leaves from limbs easily. Their tough tongue also allows them to strip the leaves from stems and branches that have thorns. The Rothschild’s incisors are splayed. This unique shape makes it easier for them to strip the leaves they want to eat from the branches. While the Namibian farmer had spotted Nigel regularly over the years, it was only after our observations that he realised that Nigel was not a juvenile but a fully grown male giraffe”, said Emma Wells. “It is mainly in comparison to other giraffe that his difference in stature becomes obvious.”

According to a statement from the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, this is the first time that dwarfism has been documented in captive or wild giraffes. The scientists published their findings in December in the journal BMC Research Notes.
