"Giraffe" by Stuart "Blu_Taiger" McDonald

SciFi/Fantasy Picture 37 out of 75 by Stuart "Blu_Taiger" McDonald. ←Previous - Next→


	Kinda wierd, I know. When early explorers first discovered the giraffe, they didn't quite know what it was. What they eventually described it as was a leopard-camel. So,... that's all the logic there is behind this one. Enjoy!

Stuart "Blu_Taiger" McDonald replies: "I WILL have a nice day, since I got this comment.You're right, not many camels in the woods. I've only seen about... two,... I think. But technically, THIS is a giraffe.Thanks for commenting!"
8 Oct 2006	Tim Stoffel	Loading... In the previous post, I meant 'camelpardus the giraffe' is considered the camel-leopard. And, this is reflected in the scientific name of the giraffe, Giraffa cameleopardus. I also discovered in researching this, that the dromedary (one-humped) camel is sometimes known to eat bones and dried-up carcasses, adding a little 'carnivore mystique' to an animal we think of as a herbivore. Perhaps, you are closer to the true history of this animal than we think..... Stuart "Blu_Taiger" McDonald replies: "Really? Bones and carcasses? Well I certainly hadn't known that.Thanks for your comments and scientifical insight. Seriusly."
8 Oct 2006	Tim Stoffel	Loading... Nice rendering of a fanciful idea to paper! The story told is true. In fact the constellation camelepardus the camel is named after the camel-leopard.
