Isn’t it strange then that giraffes are in some ways incredibly overlooked? The drastic decline in their population numbers didn’t receive global attention until only recently, prompting references to their "silent extinction." And despite how familiar that unmistakable long-necked shape may seem to us, so many aspects of giraffe lives and behavior remain a mystery, or have been long misunderstood. Compared to other African icons, such as elephants, rhinos, or lions, giraffes have been surprisingly understudied. It’s not easy to safeguard a creature we don’t really understand … so it’s more important than ever that we pay giraffes more attention. #giraffes #conservation #endangeredspecies」11月15日 12時34分
