Phylum: Chordata, Class: Mammalia, Order: Artiodactyla, Suborder: Ruminantia, Family: Giraffidae

People have marveled over the giraffe's height and beauty for thousands of years. When the first zoo was established by Queen Hatshepsut 3,500 years ago, a giraffe was transported 1,500 miles down the Nile River for the Queen's zoo. In 1827, when a giraffe was placed on public display for the first time in Paris, it nearly caused a riot. The arrival of the giraffe also started a fashion frenzy, influencing hairstyles, clothing, and accessories. It's the giraffe's speed, not its height, that gave it its name. "Giraffe" comes from the Arab word xirapha (zee-RAF-ah), which means "the one that walks very fast". There is only 1 species of giraffe.

GIFAFFE'S RELATIVES: The rare okapi is an animal confined to a small region within the Congo Basin and only discovered early this century. This animal is the rainforest ancestor of the giraffe.

WHERE IT LIVES: Wherever there are trees in the Sahara. Eliminated from most of West African and southern Kalahari range but still reasonably common even outside wildlife preserves.

WHERE TO SEE IT: Many different parts of eastern Africa. This animal is most approachable along well traveled roads in the popular national parks of Africa.
