Giraffes like this reticulated giraffe and Rothschild giraffe @rolling_hills_zoo are the world's tallest mammals, thanks to their towering legs and long necks. While the two species look very similar, you can tell them apart thanks to differences in their coat, with the reticulated giraffe sporting finer white lines in its pattern. Typically, these beautiful animals roam the open grasslands across Africa in small groups of about half a dozen. #worldgiraffeday #reticulated #rothschild #longnecks #vulnerable #endangered #africa #patterned #giraffe #animal #wildlife #mammal #photography #animalphotography #wildlifephotography #photoark @insidenatgeo
