Bellingcat Challenge #26 “Spot the Location”
Did you know the spots on a Giraffe are used to regulate their body heat?
Giraffes can be found all throughout sub-Saharan Africa, but what about this species…
At first ei-ffel for the edit, it drove me in-Seine
In which country were the giraffes in this image most likely photographed?
Solution
The giraffes have been composited onto the background in the challenge image, suggesting that an original photograph showing only the giraffes exists. A Google image search for "giraff wild" led to the source image used in Where to See Giraffes on Your Next African Safari.
A Google reverse image search of that photograph found several sites using the same image, including Resor till Zambia and a BioCarbon Partners article about the Luangwa giraffe.
The latter identifies the giraffes as Luangwa giraffes, a subspecies endemic to Zambia. Therefore, the country where the giraffes were photographed is Zambia.
