Comments: A bull Southern savannah giraffe close to Namutoni, Etosha, Namibia
Camelopardalis, occurs only once in the D.V. (Deuteronomy 14:5), as a translation of zémér (זֶמֶר) - Strongs: H2169. The word, a mere transcription of the Latin and the Greek, is a combination of the names of the camel and the leopard, and indicates the giraffe. But this translation, as well as that of the A.V. (chamois), is doubtless erroneous; neither the giraffe nor the chamois ever lived in Israel. The wild sheep or mouflon, which still lingers in Cyprus and Arabia Petraea, is very likely intended.
