案例简介：照片由 @ beverlyjoubert/如果我们环顾整个动物界，当我们想到社会复杂的物种时，长颈鹿肯定不是第一个想到的生物。然而，我们对它们的研究越多，我们发现自己对这些长颈巨人的理解就越多。最近的研究表明，长颈鹿组是一个比我们想象的要合作和相互依存的实体-长颈鹿祖母是至关重要的社区成员。在诸如逆戟鲸或大象之类的复杂物种中，似乎年长的母系的贡献对于长颈鹿种群的复原力和生存至关重要。祖母提供了大量宝贵的知识，并为小组的其他成员提供了关怀和资源。现在不是时候让我们认识到长颈鹿是聪明的，社会复杂的动物了吗？# 长颈鹿 # 野生动物 # 非洲野生动物

案例简介：Photo by @beverlyjoubert / If we look out across the animal kingdom, giraffes are certainly not the first creatures that come to mind when we think of socially complex species. And yet the more we study them, the more we find ourselves revising our understanding of these long-necked giants. Recent research suggests that a giraffe group is a far more cooperative and interdependent entity than we thought—and giraffe grandmothers are vital community members. As among complex species like orcas or elephants, it seems the contribution of older matriarchs is vital to the resilience and survival of giraffe populations. Grandmothers offer a bank of valuable knowledge and devote care and resources to the rest of the group. Isn't it high time that we recognized giraffes for the intelligent, socially complex animals they are?#giraffes #wildlife #Africanwildlife
