@BoixRichter Felicidades por el hilo, Alex, magnífico, como siempre. Ahora, por si cabe complicar aún más las interpretaciones sobre su evolución, un estudio genético reciente de Fennessey et al. 2016 parece indicar la presencia de cuatro especies distinta

4 distinct species of giraffe have recently been discovered, despite the fact they all look the same they’re very genetically different! Great news for zoo breeding programs that have struggled in the past #sameontheoutside #BESUG18 https://t.

Saw this paper awhile ago but I'm curious what others opinions are. Should we classify giraffes into 4 species now? https://t.co/qgDZoDIecq

It's really cool that today's giraffes represent some 2 million years of population divergence across Africa. https://t.co/oXcZ5C60z8
