Rothschild Giraffe

    Recently, there was a Rothschild giraffe born in Connecticut. This type of giraffe is an endangered species. There are only 670 left in the world, including this newborn. The Rothschild giraffe is typically found in Kenya and Uganda. This species can reach 18 feet in height. Visits to this newborn in Connecticut are limited to large donors or education groups. It can cost $500 at least, or $2,500 at most to visit this endangered giraffe.

  3. You said that this particular type of giraffe can reach up to 18 feet, so I was wondering what the average height of normal giraffes are?
