Biology - Giraffe Speciation/Evolution Infographic

This is an A3 size infographic representing the latest research regarding Giraffe taxonomy. It can be used to provide an interesting discussion point for the question of what constitutes a species and is useful as a modern example of speciation. It also effectively demonstrates the fluidity of taxonomy over time especially when DNA evidence is considered.

Each species/subspecies is represented by a high quality natural history illustration. Pupils can compare the coat patterns of all the giraffes and see their approximate distribution on a colour coded map of Africa.
