Wouldn't this make more sense atReticulated Giraffe, i find that a much more common name than Somali giraffe?Chris_huhtalk01:53, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I fully agree.. this should be done. ColinRose@comcast.net—Precedingunsigned comment added by24.130.124.228 (talk)09:26, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I believe information should be added on how long it took giraffes to evolve to have long necks and how tall they actually are under the Neck category.It should also talk about the costs of having such a long neck.Besides the long necks for fighting for females, there should be info on their horns and how thick their skulls are.

Can we get some better information dealing with the evolution of the neck? This section looks like it was written for a grade school project. See below excerpt.
"In order for giraffes to have developed into having long necks, it would have had to take several life generations. There is no possible way for an animal to form an adaptation in one lifetime. Though this huge adaptation looks very complex, it really isn't. There are only seven vertebrae in a giraffe’s neck. Millions of years before, the trait of a long neck was just a genetic mutation that eventually created a new species. At this time though; these animals were just plain old antelopes."— Precedingunsigned comment added by50.67.187.172 (talk)21:49, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In light of the new species delimitations for Giraffa, I propose placing all general information about giraffes in the Giraffa article, and keep the species-specific pages to information only pertinent to that species. Thoughts?DerekELee (talk)10:30, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Can someone fix the taxobox?
