South Africa, Hluhluwe - Game Reserve "Halli Hallo !"
Reticulated giraffes can reach a height of up to 560 cm, a shoulder height of up to 330 cm and a weight of up to 900 kg.
Despite their extremely long neck, giraffes have only seven cervical vertebrae.
The small "horns" on the head of the giraffes are also striking. These are bone cones that are covered with skin. Male giraffes use these horns in intraspecific fights, which is why the upper edge of these bone cones is mostly rubbed bare.
Female giraffes, on the other hand, have dark tufts of hair on these horns.
