Disney Pic of the Week: Giraffe

Did you know that the first animals in Animal Kingdom arrived in the Summer of 1996. They were two young giraffe named Miles and Zari.

— Reticulated giraffe will have a pattern of large spots, similar in shape, with little “background” color shown so that you might wonder if the giraffe is all brown. Other giraffes have a wide variety of spots on their body of different shapes and sizes, the background color is also darker. Every giraffe has a unique pattern!

A few years ago, a second giraffe species, Masai, was introduced at Animal Kingdom.

— The Masai giraffe has jagged edges along their patches. They are also the tallest of all the giraffes.

Here they are side by side. Can you tell which is which?
