With its iconic appearance and historic popular appeal, the giraffe is the world's tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant. Recent years have seen much-needed new research undertaken to improve our understanding of this unique animal. Drawing together the latest research into one resource, this is a detailed exploration of current knowledge on the biology, behaviour and conservation needs of the giraffe. Dagg highlights striking new data, covering topics such as species classification, the role of infrasound in communication, biological responses to external temperature changes and motherly behaviour and grief. The book discusses research into behaviour alongside practical information on captive giraffe, including diet, stereotypical behaviour, ailments and parasites, covering both problems and potential solutions associated with zoo giraffe. With giraffe becoming endangered species in Africa, the book ultimately focuses on efforts to halt population decline and the outlook for conservation measures.

The survival of giraffes in the wild in threatened. Between 1985 and 2015, the overall population of giraffes in the wild has plummeted by 40 percent. Anderson shows how climate change, illegal hunting, wars, habitat loss, and habitat fragmentation are the main threats to their survival, and suggests ways that readers can alert their community to the dangers facing Earth's tallest creature. -- adapted from jacket
