The reticulated giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata), also known as the Somali giraffe, is a subspecies of giraffe native to the Horn of Africa. It lives in Somalia, southern Ethiopia, and northern Kenya. There are approximately 8,500 individuals living in the wild. The reticulated giraffe was described and given its binomial name by British zoologist William Edward de Winton in 1899, however the IUCN currently recognizes only one species of giraffe with nine subspecies.
Reticulated giraffes can interbreed with other giraffe species in captivity or if they come into contact with populations of other species in the wild.
Together with the Rothschild's giraffe, it is by far the giraffe that is most commonly seen in zoos. Its coat consists of large, polygonal, liver-colored spots outlined by a network of bright-white lines. The blocks may sometimes appear deep red and may also cover the legs. Giraffes are the tallest mammals in the world.

Me: That's a cute reticulated giraffe you have there!
The scared zoo owner who saw me break inside his zoo: Yeah, uh, thanks. Get out.

American Football, sometimes stylized as americ anfootball, is an American indie-rock band formed in 1997 and signed to Polyvinyl Records. Originally consisting of Mike Kinsella, Steve Lamos, and Steve Holmes, the band garnered notoriety and praise for their self-titled debut album released in 1999, which would later become a cult classic among many music journalists and an essential album among 4chan's /mu/ board, and are regarded as icons in the Midwest emo genre. The band would later break up after the release of their first album, before reforming in 2014 with new member Nate Kinsella and have been active since.
In 1997, Mike Kinsella, then a university student who performed in bands such as Joan of Arc and Cap'n Jazz, formed the band The One Up Downstairs alongside Steve Lamos, Allen Johnson, and David Johnson. Though the band was originally supposed to put out a single on Polyvinyl Records, the record was shelved as the band broke up shortly before its release, though it would later be released years later. Kinsella and Lamos would later be joined by Steve Holmes, who was Kinsella's roommate at the time, forming the original lineup for the band. This would lead to the release of American Football's self-titled debut EP on Polyvinyl on October 6 1998 (shown below, left). The band would release their self-titled debut album (shown below, right) on September 14, 1999, with the band later breaking up that year due to living in different cities and the end of their courses.
