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 sometimes 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.
