Africa is such a beautiful place that’s culturally rich, and has a great diversity of animal&plant life. I sure hope this continent doesn’t loose its’ wildlife charm!

Finally!! I've wondered for years Why we hear so little about one of the rarest and biologically unique animals on our earth! They are so interesting, that I find it incredible and almost offensive that there's been so little knowledge and studies on their species. Thanks to the few that Have cared enough to do something about it!! Who doesn't Love giraffes?! Thank you! ❤️🦒❤️🦒

Giraffes are so cool & so cute. When i was little, we went to a zoo & a giraffe chewed up my little purse. I wasn't even upset; it was so cool to be up close to such a magnificent animal. To this day, i still love them! Thk u to those saving them. 🦒🥰

We are really losing it all....all the Natures gifts....I hope more ppl will become involved in spreading the message to gain more support for these absolutely amazing creatures...Africa would never be the same if they disappeared forever...

I've always loved giraffes, and found them to be so fascinating and beautiful. I had no idea their extinction number was at 80%. Thank God for these dedicated researchers and native peoples, who value and understand the fragility of these magnificently unique animals. Wish I had their eyelashes. :-) Terrific video; tku, PBS.

I really like this series. I like that it showcases the scientists studying the animals along with the animals themselves, it does not use strange gimmicks like to make them seem like exciting monsters and thing like Nat Geo has been putting out lately. I like that it is also showing animal human conflicts in a complex light. As someone who has lived in rural Africa this feels fair.

Early on in chiropractic school, a teacher had us guess how many vertebrae were in a giraffe's neck. The answer was, "Seven... same as in a human." Years later, I attended an evening in non-violent communication. Two therapists sat side by side, each holding a large, cuddly-looking toy giraffe on their laps. One therapist explained that, of all the earth's land animals, giraffes had the biggest hearts, and urged us to follow their lead. 😉

@amazingsupergirl7125 2 года назад

There’s an enormous outdoor zoo in the south that you can drive hours through. With my window down, a giraffe stuck his whole head in looking for treats. My hand was full of them so he wrapped his tongue several times around my forearm and grabbed them from my hand as he pulled back. His tongue was black, dry, and felt like sand paper. It was amazing

@annedwyer797 Год назад

There's an amazing scene of two giraffe bulls "necking" in one of the BBC Planet Earth series (narrated by the great David Attenborough!). One of them got slammed so hard that he just toppled over, and his head hit the ground so hard you could hear the impact (they kind of showed his fall in slo-mo). He didn't move for a minute or two (I thought he might be dead), but then suddenly he raised his head, got up on his feet, and walked off as if nothing had happened! It was incredible🦒

This documentary answered questions about giraffes that I hadn't even thought of! I now raise goats (Kikos), but I never thought about how many stomachs a giraffe would have. It is absolutely fascinating. Thank you for so much information.

@chrilin5107 2 года назад

Great documentary. And agree it's sad that some animals always seem overcooked despite dire circumstances...pangolins is another example. One of the least known but most trafficked. The state of our planet, wildlife, habitat...is really worrying. I hope we realise we must change. We cannot allow our planet and all its beautiful life to be ruined because we think we can keep business as usual going.

@annedwyer797 Год назад

I saw a really shocking photo of a fishing boat that was smuggling pangolin scales, abt 2 tons were on the deck/in the hold. When you consider how light pangolin scales are, since they're made of keratin, it was mind-blowing to think abt how many dead pangolins were represented by 2 tons of their scales. It was really pathetic and disgusting. Sorry, but traditional Asian medicine is really terrible, even if it is a cultural tradition. Much of it is baseless, ineffective, and downright dangerous, and it decimates/abuses the animals it uses.
