They seem so much darker than the ones I have seen images of. Is this a different species amesta? You can answer me here as I will check back.

Dear KC Foggin, I got many photos of Giraffe from 3 different National Parks and their colour is the same.
There are two sub-species of Masai Giraffe a)the Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata, in Kenya and Somalia and b)the Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi in Kenya.
