An adult giraffe Crossing in front of a pile of rocks. This giraffe, seen at the Denver Zoo, is a Reticulted or Somali Giraffe (), one of 7-9 subspecies (depending on classification) and the most popularly seen or photgraphed. Another adult female with her baby stand in the background partially obscured by rocks. Although in captivity these subspecies can interbreed, genetic research shows that naturally they are separate species and that some subspecies are down to less than a 100 animals.
