Guide to Giraffe Species: How Many Types of Giraffes Are There?

Giraffes are magnificent creatures that tower over the open plains, grasslands, and woodlands of Africa, with their extremely long necks and legs, making them the tallest mammals in the world. These social animals peacefully roam the savannah in large herds, foraging for food at the tops of trees. While they are handsome and impressive, they are also vulnerable and have been vastly under-researched, despite being among the most recognized animals of the savannah.

Recent research has shown that giraffes are not just one species with nine subspecies, as previously thought, but rather four distinct species. These species include the Northern giraffe, Southern giraffe, Masai giraffe, and Reticulated giraffe! .
