The story behind the motif
Poster with an old illustration of a giraffe. On the picture we can read Camelopardalis Girafa , the scientific name of the species. The word Camelopardalis is inspired by the animal camel and leopard as early scientists thought that the giraffe mimicked these animals in appearance and fur.
The giraffe is the world's tallest land animal and can reach up to 5.9 meters. A funny curiosity is that the giraffe's tongue can be closer to half a meter long and is faster than a racing horse over shorter distances. That you!
Artist: Unknown | Created: circa 19th century.
Frame not included.
