Scientists found two copies of surprisingly short giraffes, while the average length of giraffes was 5.4 meters, the length of the two giraffes found in Africa was no more than 2.8 meters, which is half the usual length of this animal.
The British newspaper “Daily Mail” reported that scientists believe that these two giraffes are suffering from a state of dwarfism, due to inbreeding, just as it happens with humans.
Scientists have said that one of the giraffes, called “Gimel”, has limited movement due to its short legs.
One of the giraffes belonged to the Nubian family, which is widespread in North Africa.
This giraffe was first seen in 2015, in Uganda’s national park, where researchers observed that this animal had limbs that are out of proportion to its torso and neck.
In 2020, the research team came back to see the condition of this giraffe, and there was an identical copy of it in Namibia, and its name was “Nigel”, and she was a member of the “Angolan Rusvat”.
