This chimeric hybrid (part giraffe, part human) awaits her fate after what seems to have been a long and
arduous journey. She is thankful to put her feet up for a little while hear and rest.
It is interesting to note that, despite her vulnerable expression, “giraffe’s” strong fashion statement—
particularly her animal-print dress—hints at a strong will for survival. Cheetahs are the giraffe’s natural
predators in the wild.
*However, humans are far worse hunters of the giraffe than the cheetah; poaching has reduced Saharan giraffe populations down
40% of the last 30 years.*
