Pictured are two South African giraffes standing in a savannah in the Okavango Delta in Botswana, Africa. It is the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant on Earth. Giraffes usually inhabit savannahs and open woodlands. Because of their size, eyesight and powerful kicks, adult giraffes are mostly safe from predation, with lions being their only major threats. Calves are much more vulnerable than adults and are also preyed on by leopards, spotted hyenas and wild dogs. The photograph was taken from a safari vehicle based at the Atzaro Okavango Camp. The binomial name is Giraffa giraffa.
