Well, with their sharp eyes and white colored ears, they can make a whole “conversation” among themselves and be very comfortable.Muller, Z., et al. To communicate between themselves, they have white ears. So, they don’t need voice to know that one of theirs is in trouble. With their height, they get a good aerial view of their vicinity. To make up for their lack of audible voice, they have very sharp eyes that can see very far, approximately 5km away. You have no idea how the sight of an angry Giraffe is in itself “1000 ways to die” Kelly was far away from her, she came running. So in our quest to find the young one, we did not know that we were very close to Margaret (The calf). With Kelly, she hide her calf deep in our sanctuary unlike the others because she had some really bad experience before she came to Giraffe Centre (Story for another day).
This is because the young one is most vulnerable to predators.
So with such an amazing event, one gets the feeling of “I have to see the new born.” Whenever a Giraffe gives birth, she hides the new born from even us. Now, that is awesome news, why? because the number of the Rothschild Giraffes and Giraffes in general has added another one. One case, here at the Giraffe Centre, Kelly had given birth to Margaret.
One has to ask, how do they communicate when one senses danger. Have you ever wondered how the Giraffes communicate? I mean, they are tall and they make with no sound at least that can be heard with a human ear.
