Rothschild giraffe in Kenya's Lake Nakuru National Park

There are more than 100,000 giraffes left in the world. They are not considered endangered, but their native populations in Africa are declining. Our image is of the long-necked Rothschild giraffe, a subspecies of the northern giraffe, named after London biologist Lionel Walter Rothschild. In 2016, there were only 166 giraffes in the forest, 45 of them in Lake Nakuru National Park in Kenya. The other can be found in Murchison Falls National Park in northern Uganda. Inside these parks, giraffes are tied to enclosures to keep predators at bay. However, their natural prey - hyenas, lions, crocodiles, and leopards _ remains a threat. But at least they are a natural danger.
