reticulated giraffe

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.

Giraffe Tooth

Initiate a 'high-five' with a friend, and when their arm is raised high enough, take your first two fingers (or strongest fingers) and jab them in the armpit, while shouting 'Giraffe Tooth!'. The doubled fingers resemble a giraffe's large tooth, and the action of jabbing in the pit is similar to a circumstance involving a giraffe jabbing his tooth into an armpit. This action is addictive and will catch on fast in your group of friends, family members, co-workers, church group, and etc.

Keri: "hey Kody, high five!"
Kody: "sweet, sure" (raises arm)
Keri: (jabbs armpit) "Giraffe tooth, motherfucker!"
Kody: "ouch, Charlieee!"

baby giraffe

the stick thin and freakishly tall adolescent girl creatures who actually work in the fashion industry in print and runway (as opposed to normally proportioned adult females who lug modeling portfolios but work as waiters) they can often be found in little clusters along 7th avenue in manhattan, taking in sustenance and trying to avoid predators wherever zero calorie snacks are sold.

Does your building have an agency in it or something? I was almost trampled by a herd of baby giraffes in the lobby.
