With its iconic appearance and historic popular appeal, the giraffe
is the world's tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest
ruminant. Recent years have seen much-needed new research
undertaken to improve our understanding of this unique animal.
Drawing together the latest research into one resource, this is a
detailed exploration of current knowledge on the biology, behaviour
and conservation needs of the giraffe. Dagg highlights striking new
data, covering topics such as species classification, the role of
infrasound in communication, biological responses to external
temperature changes and motherly behaviour and grief. The book
discusses research into behaviour alongside practical information
on captive giraffe, including diet, stereotypical behaviour,
ailments and parasites, covering both problems and potential
solutions associated with zoo giraffe. With giraffe becoming
endangered species in Africa, the book ultimately focuses on
efforts to halt population decline and the outlook for conservation
measures.
