The Kordofan Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis antiquorum) is a subspecies of giraffe found in northern Cameroon, southern Chad, Central African Republic and possibly western Sudan.[1] Historically some confusion has existed over the exact range limit of this subspecies compared to the West African Giraffe, with populations in e.g. northern Cameroon formerly assigned to the latter.[1] Genetic work has also revealed that all "West African Giraffe" in European zoos are in fact Kordofan Giraffe.[1] Compared to most other subspecies, the Kordofan Giraffe has relatively small, more irregular spots on the inner legs. Its English name is a reference to Kordofan in Sudan.
