目前為止市面上個人最喜歡的一組長頸鹿，牠們曾是我童年時期最喜歡的動物，無論是身上花紋，褐色腳踝，或鹿蹄都塗裝的很細緻，成獸寬厚的胸和細長的腿顯示出這種巨獸的力量與優雅，美中不足之處：幼獸的臉看起來有點怪，但又說不出個所以然。
網紋長頸鹿 (資料來自於維基百科)
網紋長頸鹿 (學名：Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata) ，俗稱索馬里長頸鹿 (Somali giraffe) ，是原生於索馬利亞、衣索比亞南部以及肯亞北部的長頸鹿亞種。在人工飼育或是在野外接觸亞種族群的情況下，網紋長頸鹿能和其他長頸鹿亞種進行交配。
網紋長頸鹿是九種長頸鹿亞種之中最有名的一種，同時，牠和羅氏長頸鹿同為目前為止動物園內最常見的長頸鹿。網紋長頸鹿的毛皮上有被白色線條網路描繪出的多邊形深栗色的大斑點。這些斑點有可能是深紅色的，也有可能延伸到腿部。長頸鹿會有如此超乎尋常的高度歸因於一種被稱作「角力」的儀式，也就是兩隻公長頸鹿為了取得繁殖的權利，而以脖子甩到對方身上進行攻擊的一種打鬥，擁有最高、最長脖子的長頸鹿將會勝出，並取得交配的權利，從而將這些基因傳給下一代。
網紋長頸鹿是草食性動物，根據紀錄，牠們以超過一百種的植物為食，其中又以金合歡、沒藥屬和欖仁樹的葉子為主食。長頸鹿曾被觀察到吃羚羊的屍體及啃食乾枯的骨頭來滿足鈣質攝取。
Reticulated Giraffe (information from wikipedia)
The reticulated giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata), also known as the Somali giraffe, is a subspecies of giraffe native to Somalia, southern Ethiopia, and northern Kenya. Reticulated giraffes can interbreed with other giraffe subspecies in captivity or if they come into contact with populations of other subspecies in the wild.
The reticulated giraffe is among the most well-known of the nine giraffe subspecies. Together with the Rothschild giraffe, it is by far the giraffe most commonly seen in zoos. Its coat consists of large, polygonal, liver-colored spots outlined by a network of bright-white lines. The blocks may sometimes appear deep red and may also cover the legs. The extraordinary height of giraffes is attributed to a ritual known as "necking", where two males fight for reproduction rights by slamming their necks into one another. The giraffes with the tallest and strongest necks are victorious and allowed to reproduce, thus passing these genes on to future generations.
