Rothschild Giraffe

The Rothschild Giraffe, named after Tring Zoological Museum's founder, Lord
Walter Rothschild, also known as the Baringo Giraffe, after the Lake Baringo
area of Kenya, or as the Ugandan Giraffe, is the most endangered of giraffe
subspecies, with around forty believed to exist in the wild. While giraffes in
general are classified as Lower Risk: Conservation Dependent, the Rothschild
Giraffe is at particular risk of hybridisation, as the population is so
limited in numbers. There are very few locations where the Rothschild Giraffe
can be seen in the wild, with notable hotspots being Lake Nakuru National Park
in Kenya and Murchison Falls National Park in Northern Uganda. There are
various captive breeding programmes in place - most notably at The Giraffe
Centre in Nairobi, Kenya, and at Woburn Safari Park in Bedfordshire, England -
which aim to expand the genetic gene-pool in the wild population of the
Rothschild Giraffe.
