科学家确定了非洲的四个长颈鹿物种,这对于有针对性地进行养护至关重要。 Scientists identify four giraffe species in Africa, crucial for targeted conservation efforts.

科学家发现,非洲的长颈鹿不是一种物种,而是四种物种:北方、静脉型、马赛和南方。 Scientists have discovered that giraffes in Africa are not one species but four: Northern, reticulated, Masai, and Southern. 这一基于遗传数据和解剖学差异的结论,对于量身定做的养护努力至关重要。 This finding, based on genetic data and anatomical differences, is crucial for tailored conservation efforts. 北部长颈鹿是最濒临灭绝的 野外只剩下大约7000头 The Northern giraffe is the most endangered, with only about 7,000 left in the wild. 这一新分类旨在更有效地处理每个物种的具体威胁和养护需要。 This new classification aims to address the specific threats and conservation needs of each species more effectively.
