Giraffe are facing a 'silent extinction' as their numbers decline across Africa, which is why they are on the agenda for better protection under CITES, the UN Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. Here, we see two specialised feeders at work as a red-billed oxpecker uses its beak to comb through the fur on a giraffe's neck for ectoparasites, while the giraffe uses his amazing prehensile tongue and lips to separate the leaves from the twigs of a Mopane tree.
Giraffe play an important role in the ecology of their habitat, and many species depend on their continued survival.
