Giraffe: Two men have placed a thick black rope in front of the animal in an attempt to trip her up
The giraffe is on the verge of collapsing. Two men have placed a thick black rope in front of the animal in an attempt to trip her up. The giraffe strikes the cord, and the strategy appears to be working until she gets a second wind and goes into a new gallop. Her body sways back and forth like a rocking horse being transported on a dolly.
Six more people grab the rope’s ends and run behind her, gripping tight, pushing their puny strength against her weight. It would be a no-brainer if her veins weren’t running with a tranquilizer. Finally, she loses her footing and careens forward, her legs splayed out in front of her. Her seven-foot-long neck, though, continues to reach for the heavens. People rush over, wearing hoods and holding drills. The giraffe, a symbol of verticality, is now wholly horizontal.
Giraffe tails are highly appreciated by many African communities and are utilized in items such as good-luck chains, fly whisks, and even thread for stitching or stringing pearls. In just 30 years, the world’s tallest land animal has lost 40% of its population, and recent estimates indicate that poaching and wildlife trafficking contribute to this reduction.
Giraffes are readily killed, and poaching is common. Giraffe populations in the wild are declining as their habitats dwindle. Herds of 20 to 30 animals were documented in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; currently, herd numbers average less than six individuals. This species has four significant risks, according to the IUCN: habitat loss, civil turmoil, illicit casting, and environmental changes (climate change and habitat conversion).
The giraffe is losing its beloved acacia trees, which are its principal source of food, as human populations rise and increase agricultural operations, develop communities, and build roads.
