Giraffe

Giraffes have long attracted human curiosity and respect. Their extraordinarily long necks, distinctive camouflage, graceful movements and friendly nature make them one of the most fascinating animals on the planet. But while giraffes once roamed the Great Plains of Africa in huge herds, their numbers have greatly decreased and they are now entirely dependent on humanity for their survival. In Giraffe, Edgar Williams explores not only the biology of giraffes, but also their impact on human history.
