While the Namibian farmer had spotted Nigel regularly over the years, it was only after our observations that he realized that Nigel was not a juvenile but a fully grown male giraffe," co-author Emma Wells, a researcher for the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. "It is mainly in comparison to other giraffe that his difference in stature becomes obvious." It was once thought there was just one species of giraffe, but analyses of morphological and DNA data have revealed there could be as many as eight living species and seven extinct species. However, at this time, the most complete molecular evidence suggests there may be four species of giraffe ( ref; also read more here). Counting giraffes Cave, A. J. E. (1950).

Height and Size

The blue whale might have the world’s biggest penis, but size is relative. Barnacles have the biggest penis-to-body size ratio, with genitalia nearly eight-times their total body length. a b c d Badlangana, L. N.; Adams, J. W.; Manger, P. R. (2009).
