拍品資料及來源
Giraffes rank as the tallest terrestrial animal in the world. Native to the woodlands and savannas in central and southern Africa, these lofty, long-necked herbivores are known for their unique physique and enigmatic patterned coat.
Well-built with a pair of ossicones of relatively large size, the current skull probably belonged to a male giraffe. These prominent rod-like structures are formed from ossified cartilages, and may play a role in male combats and body thermoregulation. As giraffes mature, calcium deposits grow on their cranium and develop into further horn-like structures protruding from their foreheads (and somet.mes s rear of their skull), as seen on the present piece. The natural erosion on the surface of the skull suggested that it was probably a bush find.
