When I first considered the possibility to make a Giraffe model I was not sure which of the nine recognized subspecies I should select Nine? Yes! Nine! There are NINE subspecies of giraffes….I didn´t know. I thought there were not more than three… Any way, there are no significant morphological differences between the diverse subspecies of giraffes, apart from some discussed variations regarding the ossicones and the mediam lump on the skull However, the pattern of the skin offers many beautiful options and it was not easy to select one of them. At the beginning I thought that those elaborate patterns on the Masai giraffe could be quite fun to paint. Later I considered that the Rothschild giraffes was really unique, especially those with unusually dark markings, also interesting for painting. However, I always liked the Reticulated giraffe–it is probably my favorite- although is a fact that most companies produce only Reticulated giraffe models for their catalogues. So, I would prefer to make something different. So, I started to make an studio about the real differences between all the subspecies of giraffes from the artistic point of view. These are my conclusions: 1. Nubian giraffe (Giraffa Camelopardalis camelopardalis)
2. Reticulated or Somali giraffe (Giraffa Camelopardalis reticulate)
3. Angolan or Namibian giraffe (Giraffa Camelopardalis angolensis)
4. Kordofan giraffe(Giraffa Camelopardalis antiquorum)
5. Masai or Kilimanjaro giraffe (Giraffa Camelopardalis tippelskirchi)
6. Rothschild's , Baringo or Ugandan giraffe (Giraffa Camelopardalis rothschildi)
7. South African giraffe (Giraffa Camelopardalis giraffa)
8. Rhodesian giraffe (Giraffa Camelopardalis thornicrofti)
9. The West Africa, Niger or Nigerian giraffe (Giraffa Camelopardalis peralta)
Finally, after a long meditation, when I was almost quite convinced to make a Kordofan giraffe… I have made a decision: I am going to do all of them!!!! However, from what I have been investigated, it would be worthy to start making the six subespecies that are generally recognized as been the most distinctive from them. These are the subspecies I choose to star with:
I will keep you informed about the project in followings posts... Bye!!

As you can see, I'm still developing the project to make models of all existing subspecies of giraffes, which nine in total. Once the project completed, I will explore the possibility of marketing it, offering copies of them made in resin.

I would be interested in getting a print of these giraffes, all in a row. I have a spot on my wall, about 15" x 4 feet, that this print would look good on. I think a lot of people would like the print, especially if it is put in a baby bedroom.
