The giraffe is definitely one of the most famous, perhaps well-loved, endangered species. That’s because they aren’t just mammals with a striking appearance and elongated neck, they also happen to be highly intelligent animals! Giraffes can use both vocalizations and bodily gestures to communicate with each other. So why are some estimates showing a 90% decline in giraffe populations? Poaching, and excessive hunting of males disrupt breeding cycles. Endangered Giraffes are being killed for their meat, teeth, hides, bones and brains (a supposed cure for HIV) despite the fact that it is illegal to kill them. Other reasons for this dramatic change include: habitat destruction, human-wildlife conflict, disease transmission, and retaliatory killing due to livestock loss or damage caused by herbivores. The reticulated giraffe found in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia is particularly vulnerable. Global Warming Wear honors this majestic long-necked wonder with a stunning line of giraffe prints.
