r/giraffes

The different one

Dirk Koster – The different one

‘I took this in 2025 in the Maasai Mara, Kenya, in the Oltepesi area. Three young giraffes were standing side by side on the savanna and looked back at me with great curiosity. Right behind the middle one stood a single umbrella acacia, perfectly lined up with its head and neck. The giraffe seemed to be wearing the tree, like a green hairdo or a fancy hat. Nothing was staged or arranged; it was a matter of being in the right spot at the right moment’

Have trouble telling the four basic species of giraffe apart? Here you go! What do you think of my illustration? It’s a spin off of another I posted on here.

there is no AI at all in here it is hand drawn digitally by me.

This is a little sloppy, but what do you think of my modern simple illustration of the 4 basic giraffe species? (Not including the Okapi in this as im focusing on the long necked Savannah giraffes)

from left to right, the reticulated, the Masai, the southern and the northern. would love your honest opinions on this! i know the legs are wrong and it is sloppy, but do you think it can help people tell them apart better? this was illustrated by me, no AI included.
