Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya (Nubian giraffe)

            The Nubian giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis or Giraffa camelopardalis camelopardalis), formerly known as Rothschild's giraffe, used to be widespread in the northern parts of East Africa but has declined dramatically since 1990, to the point where it was listed as Critically Endangered in 2018. An estimated 2,500 Nubian giraffes live in the wild today; in Kenya, they only can found in certain pockets--notably in Lake Nakuru National Park where they were re-introduced in 1977.

The Nubian giraffe has sharply defined chestnut-colored spots surrounded by mostly white lines. However, its lower legs generally are without markings. The extreme length of its forelegs gives the animal a huge stride, so that in spite of a rather slow galloping rhythm it can move at speeds up to 30 miles per hour.
