Giraffes are one of the most amazing things about Africa. Sadly their population is much less than it was 50 years ago. There are only 90 thousand left with 1,000 of them in captivity. They are mainly found in Southern Africa and in Eastern Africa. The population has declined in the past few decades because people have either build roads and civilization where they live or people killed them. Before humans started killing them there were hundreds of thousands. Now there are less than 100 thousand.

Well this is sad I remember feeding a giraffe lettuce at a zoo when I was five its purple tongue was huge and that giraffe neck fight video was hilarious. It would be really sad if giraffes went extinct.
