I went to the desert and fell in love with the colours.  Then I met a Giraffe.  It was kismet!  This amazingly beautiful, gregarious animal looked at me!  Did you know a baby giraffe is 60 inches long and weighs 127 pounds when it is born?  

genus Giraffa

The IUCN has recently reclassified giraffes from a species lot least concern to one of vulnerable of extinction.  Giraffe populations in Africa have declined 40% since 1985.  All nine subspecies of giraffe are officially in trouble.
