what is another name for black giraffe?

Answer 1

I have worked with giraffes in the wild and have never heard of the black giraffe by any other name. There is only one species of giraffe, with nine currently recognized subspecies. The different subspecies can be recognized by their patterns and also by where they live in Africa. Masai giraffes Giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchi, from Kenya, have patterns that look like oak leaves. Others have a square-shaped pattern that looks like the giraffe is covered by a net. This is the reticulated giraffe Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata. Giraffe coat colors vary from light tan to practically black. The differences occur due to what the giraffes eat and where they live.

Answer 2

Black Giraffe

Answer 3

I suppose that name could be used for a relative of the giraffe that is a dark brown colour, much darker than the giraffe. It is called the okapi and lived in the tropical rainforest of the congo watershed and possibly some other watersheds in western Africa. It is mostly a dark brown but has some striping for camoflage. It's neck is fairly long but not nearly as long as the giraffe. Check it out.
