Lake Nakuru - a Parliment of Rothschild Giraffes

 

We were delighted to see so many of the Rothschild Giraffe's.  We had just visited

The Giraffe Manor in Nairobi and learned of the shortage of this type of giraffe in the wild.

A group of giraffes is called a Parliament.  We saw 17 giraffes during our visit to Lake Nakuru

A group of giraffe in one location is called a Tower - wee below:

Their long, patterned necks tower above the thorny acacia at Lake Nakuru National Park, as tourists click away, preserving memories of the world’s tallest animal.

 

With its yellow-gold and brown spots, the Rothschild giraffe is one of the major attractions at the park.
Indeed, it is a rare animal, with only 670 of the species left in the world.  60 per cent of the world’s remaining population of Rothschild’s giraffe are found in Kenya.
