More info: The Rothschild’s giraffe used to be abundant across Kenya, Uganda and Sudan but is now only found in small populations in western Kenya and northern Uganda. They live in savannas, grasslands, and open woodlands where they are present in small herds, with males and females only mixing for breeding.

A Rothschild Giraffe has 5 ‘horns’ on its head while the other giraffe subspecies have just the two top ossicones.
