Rothschild's Giraffe, also known as Baringo giraffe, is a subspecies of the Northern giraffe native to East Africa. It is easily distinguished by its unique coat pattern, with large, irregular patches that are more jagged and geometric than other giraffe subspecies. The Rothschild's Giraffe is one of the most endangered giraffe subspecies, with only a few hundred individuals remaining in the wild due to habitat loss and poaching. They are typically found in savannas, grasslands, and open woodlands, feeding on leaves, flowers, and fruits from tall trees. These giraffes are social animals, often forming loose herds with other individuals for protection against predators like lions and hyenas.
