A giraffe with an extremely crooked neck has been found alive and healthy six years after he was last spotted in the wild.
Conservationist and photographer Philip J. Briggs captured the recent images of the animal near the Chyulu Hills in southern Kenya last week.
The giraffe, known among wildlife experts as Wonkiito, was last seen by Briggs in 2019 and was feared dead due to his severely deformed neck, believed to be caused by scoliosis or an old injury.
But despite his wonky upper half, the giraffe has left conservationists stunned, as his deformed neck appears to not have disadvantaged him.
Wonkiito was even seen with a large group of females and calves, suggesting he may be the dominant male in the area.
