Scientists say that there are three more giraffe species compared to before

Giraffe is one of the world’s most distinctive and well -loving creatures, always considered a species.

But now for the conservation of the International Union, scientists say that we can welcome three more species of the world’s highest mammal.

This is not the first time researchers have suggested that there are four species of these giants walking on our planet, but the latest assessments put an official seal on it.

How did scientists work it? And what does this mean for the future of the animal?

Scientists compared the size and head size of the skull of various giraffes and concluded that there was a sufficient genetic variety considered as various species for four groups.

Researchers saw natural characteristics such as deserts, rivers and valleys all over Africa, which could separate animals throughout the past, meaning that they developed separately from each other.

Call the southern giraffe to Namaste, one of the newly recognized species.

The giraffe lives in South Africa, Angola, Southern Botswana, Namibia, Southern Zimbabwe, Zambia and South -West Mozambic.

In the Congo basin, two rivers (Kunene and Zambazi) and Rainewans probably separated animals from overlapping with other giraffes.

The second new species is reticulated giraffe.

This giraffe lives in the open savanna and wooden grasslands of Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia.

Scientists feel that the Tana River, Ethiopia’s mountains and towns separated the animal from other giraffes in the north of the region.

It is also a migrating animal, which means that it can be passed by other giraffes when it can be cross-breed.

The third species that we can officially identify is Northern Giraffe.

The animal lives in Western Ethiopia, Central and Western Kenya, Eastern South Sudan and Uganda.

Scientists say that the Nile River and Lake Victoria, as well as its migration pattern separated this giraffe from others.

The fourth and final species is beautiful masai giraffe, with its specific leaf-pattern hiding.

It lives in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, separating from the Northern Giraffe from the Victoria and Neel river lake.

Although its pattern seems to be a marker of being a separate species, scientists say that a population of giraffe is hidden within a population and also as an age of animals.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) says that genetic differences are “important” for the protection and management of the giraffe population.

“The more accurately we understand the giraffe taxonomy, the better we are equipped to assess their position and implement effective protection strategies,” The co-writer of IUCN’s Michael Brown report said.

As a single species, the giraffe was classified as weakened to extinct, although some sub-species were increasing in number.

IUCN will now re-evaluate the vulnerability of four new species and their sub-species and states that it expects to better protect the royal animals with new information.
