The Nigerian giraffe is a subspecies of the giraffe found primarily in Nigeria. It is characterized by its distinct coat pattern, which features irregular patches that are lighter in color compared to other giraffe subspecies. This giraffe typically inhabits savannas and open woodlands, where it feeds on leaves, fruits, and flowers from tall trees. Conservation efforts are crucial for the Nigerian giraffe, as its population has declined due to habitat loss and poaching. As of recent estimates, there are only a few hundred individuals remaining in the wild, making it one of the most endangered giraffe subspecies.
