Giraffes were probably the wild animals we saw the most outside parks, one at a time. This herd in Sweetwaters Game Reserve, though, numbered twelve. The narrow pale lines between the spots indicate that they're Reticulated Giraffes, though Agoi thought the white lower legs showed cross-breeding with another subspecies, Rothschild's Giraffes.
