(Giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchi)

Serengeti, Tanzania, Africa

From Wikipedia: The Masai giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchi), also spelled Maasai
giraffe, also called Kilimanjaro giraffe, is the largest species of giraffe native to East Africa,
also the tallest land mammal. The Masai giraffe can be found in central and southern Kenya
and in Tanzania. It has distinctive, irregular, jagged, star-like blotches which extend to the
hooves. A median lump is usually present in males. It is the largest-bodied giraffe species.
