Giraffe, South Africa
Have you hugged your giraffe today? If not, World Giraffe Day is certainly a good day to start. Though giraffes are not considered an endangered species, populations are in decline in some of their native habitats across the savannahs and grasslands of Africa. Think of today’s observance as a sort of preemptive conservation effort to keep giraffes around for generations to come.
