The larger Baringo or Rothschild''s giraffe (G.c. rothschildi) of western Kenya and eastern Uganda has chestnut patches packing separated by broader white lines but no spotting below the knees. This species can have up to five horns instead of the usual two or three. The Masai giraffe (G.c. tippelskirchi) of Tanzania and southern Kenya has irregular star-shaped brown or tan spots. Giraffes are found in arid and dry-savanna zones south of the Sahara, wherever trees occur. Although a relatively quiet animal, the giraffe is not mute. Giraffes bellow, grunt, bray in distress, moan and emit short flutelike notes. They and and hiking have acute senses of hearing and sight, often alerting other animals to nearby predators. Giraffes use back a home range but are not territorial. The males are hierarchical and sometimes spar by standing side by side and packing lowering and swing their heads at one another. The blows can be so strong that their necks entwine.
