Giraffe are probably one of Africa’s most fascinating creatures. These towering beasts have no social structure and don’t defend their territories. The closest association a Giraffe will have with another is when they browse from the same tree. Males may at times be found together in one specific area, but that would purely be because of food preference.
Females are almost never found alone, except when giving birth and guarding their newborn. Quite interesting, Giraffe are the only animal where the main pair of horns are already formed before birth. These horns will only stand erect after birth has taken place. With no voice or call, it is no wonder that Giraffe don’t keep track of each other and wonder far and wide…

To round off our paintings from yesterday about the Wilddog pack, we find a single Giraffe just above the pack of dogs. It would be safe to say, that because this Giraffe is on its own, one can presume that it is being chased by the Wilddog. Wilddog will rarely take on prey this large, but it is not impossible.
The Big ears of the Giraffe is a bit confusing. Can it possible be something else?
