Solitary giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) at Okaukuejo waterhole at night, whilst the area is experiencing an uncontrolled bush fire, which started outside of the park. Giraffes are social animals that usually live in unstable herds of 10 to 20 individuals, although they can be up to 50 members. They do not have strong social ties like other animal species, except the mothers with their offspring, since each member of the herd can leave the group at will. The herds have females, offspring, young, and some males. Some individuals prefer to stay alone, especially some bulls that are less social than cows. Photographed at Okaukuejo waterhole in Etosha National Park, Namibia, Southern Africa.
