Lemurian Giraffe

Lemurian giraffes are any of the two following species of giraffes native only to Lemurian tropical savannas and humid grasslands, the common Lemurian giraffe (Giraffa jumae) and the greater Lemurian giraffe (Bohlinia attica). They are all browsing herbivores and mainly feed on leaves, seeds, fruits, and wood. The common Lemurian giraffe represents the missing link between primitive giraffids and advanced giraffids like the mainland African giraffe of the savannas. The conservation status of the two Lemurian giraffe species is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and their wide natural ranges.
