The giraffe is the world's tallest land mammal making it easy to identify. Every giraffe has a unique spot pattern.
Color varies by individuals and spots darken with age.
Baringo spot patterns differ relative to other subspecies. The giraffe's long neck allows it to feed on vegetation that other herbivores cannot reach. They strip the leaves off branches with an 18 inch long tongue. Giraffes eat a variety of tree and shrub species. One of their favorite foods, native to Africa, is the acacia tree.
