~ From my perspective, all giraffe subspecies are lovely, their graceful loping gait, gentle eyes and earth-tone pelage one of natural selection's finest outcomes. Yet the coat pattern of Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata, Reticulated Giraffe, has a contemporary flair which once seen, is seldom forgotten. This bachelor herd, a quartet, were browsing not far from the track. One took a temporary interest in us before rejoining the others in enjoying the foliage they were eating.
