Excerpt from On the Earlier Notices Relative to the Natural History of the Giraffe The magnificent triumph Of Julius Caesar over the East, on his return from his Egyptian campaign, was the first occasion on which a giraffe was seen at Rome; and the interest and astonishment ex cited by its singularity Of form and beauty Of colouring, are evidenced by the numerous notices which we find in the authors who treat Of this period. Varro (de Lingua Latina, lib. Iv.) speaks of the Camelopardalis as the animal lately brought over from Alexandria, resembling the camel in form, and the panther in markings - his predilec tion for the party Of Pompey, perhaps, restrammg him from giving more than this brief notice Of an animal, for the knowledge Of which Europe was indebted to the rival and conqueror of his Old com mander.

Their extraordinary long necks, distinctive camouflage, graceful movements, and friendly nature have made giraffes one of the most fascinating and beloved animals on the planet. But while giraffes once roamed the Great Plains of Africa in huge herds, their numbers have greatly diminished, and they are now entirely dependent on humanity for their survival. In Giraffe, Edgar Williams explores not only the biology of the tallest animals on earth, but also their impact on human history—including in ancient Egypt, where giraffes were kept as exotic pets; the Middle Ages, when giraffes were considered mythical beasts as improbable and mysterious as the dragon; and the Victorian era, in which giraffe hunting was considered an exhilarating sport. Giraffe is the first book to provide a comprehensive, twenty-first-century view of the giraffe in art, literature, film, and popular culture, as well as its natural history from prehistory to modern times. With new insights into the giraffe’s genetics and evolution, this book will appeal to those interested in the giraffe’s unique biology and to anyone who admires the majestic giraffe.
