Scientists were surprised to see dwarf giraffes, small stature made it difficult to walk

Kampala. Two giraffes in the savanna area (Sawana) of Uganda’s Murchison Falls National Park in northern Uganda are in discussion with anatomically different giraffes. Both of these giraffes have the same neck as normal giraffes but their legs are much shorter than normal. The length of one is 9.4 feet, while the length of the other is about 9 feet (2.7 meters). Perhaps this is the reason why they are being called Dwarf Giraffe. Giraffes typically range in length from 15 to 20 feet. The greatest feature of giraffes is that they can chew leaves from tall trees due to their length. That’s why when scientists saw these two dwarf giraffes, they were stunned. Julian Finesse, co-founder of the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, told Reuters on Friday in a video call that their discovery by our researchers is a miracle.

These giraffes are struggling with skeletal dysplasia
Scientific investigation has revealed that both these giraffes are struggling with dwarfism and in scientific language it is called Skeletal dysplasia. This is the first case of giraffe having skeletal dysplasia. Most giraffes grow from 15 to 20 feet, but in 2018 scientists working with the Giraffe Conservation Foundation discovered an 8.5-foot-tall giraffe in Namibia. Three years ago, scientists also found a 9-foot 3-inch giraffe in a wildlife park in Uganda.

Due to illness, bones do not developResearchers say that this is a disease under which bones are not fully developed. Age increases, but it remains small. Due to dwarfism, these giraffes find it difficult to move. He published his findings in the British Medical Journal late last month.

The report said that in the cases of both giraffes, his neck was long, but the legs were short and crooked. Skeletal dysplasia affects humans and pets, but the disease was still rare in wild animals.
