A Reassessment of the Cranial Diversity of the West African Giraffe
Original language description
The West African giraffe Giraffa camelopardalis peralta, the rarest giraffe subspecies, is one of the least studied taxa of the African megafauna in terms of anatomy, physiology, and taxonomy due to the limited material hosted in museum collections. Here, we discuss specific morphological features of the holotype of this subspecies, re-evaluate its diagnostic characteristics and expand our knowledge of the morphology of the taxon with the addition of specimens collected in the wild. Our results show that G. c. peralta is not a subspecies of ‘gigantic’ proportions, as indicated in previous studies.
