	Camelopardalis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The faintness of the constellation, and that of the nearby constellation Lynx, lead to the early Greeks considering this area of the sky to be empty, and thus a desert.
		The giraffe's body consists of the quadrangle of stars α Camelopardalis, β Camelopardalis, BE Camelopardalis, and γ Camelopardalis: α and β Camelopardalis being of the fourth magnitude.
		Stars beta Camelopardalis and 7 Camelopardalis form the giraffe's front leg, and variable stars BE Camelopardalis and CS Camelopardalis form the giraffe's hind leg.

	Giraffe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) is an African even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest of all land-living animal species.
		The giraffe is related to deer and cattle, but is placed in a separate family, the Giraffidae, consisting only of the giraffe and its closest relative, the okapi.
		The species name camelopardalis (camelopard) is derived from its early Roman name, where it was described as having characteristics of both a camel and a leopard (and perhaps being a hybrid of the two) [1].

		Camelopardalis is a star grouping named for the giraffe, or the leopard camel as the ancient Greeks called it.
		Though Camelopardalis is formed by extremely faint stars, with some imagination you might actually be able to form the outline of a giraffe.
		Camelopardalis is one of those star groupings that can be seen all year long from mid-northern latitudes – a "circumpolar" constellation.

	Girafe (constellation) - Wikipédia
		L'étoile la plus brillante, β Camelopardalis, n'a qu'une magnitude apparente de 4,03 mais n'est très peu lumineuse que parce qu'elle est très éloignée de notre système solaire : à une distance estimée de 1 000 années lumière, sa magnitude absolue est d'environ -3,40.
		β Camelopardalis est sans surprise une supergéante blanche, 7 fois plus massive que le Soleil et 32 fois plus large que celui-ci.
		α Camelopardalis, malgré son nom, n'est pas l'étoile la plus brillante de la constellation de la Girafe, ni même la deuxième. Avec une magnitude apparente de seulement 4,26, elle est la troisième de la constellation.

	Constellation Camelopardalis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Camelopardalis is a modern constellation created to fill a vast region of faint stars surrounded by the brighter and more famous constellations of Ursa Major, Auriga, Perseus, Cassiopeia, and others.
		The constellation was probably invented by Petrus Plancius (1552-1622), a Dutchman who made his name in cartography while working for the Dutch East India Company.
		His world maps of 1592 and 1594 became very popular, while his contribution to the heavenly maps was awarded in 1624 when Camelopardalis was included in Jakob Bartsch's book on the constellations.

	The Giraffe - Giraffa camelopardalis of Southern Africa
		Its carotid artery and jugular vein, running down the long neck from head to heart, are equipped with special valves to keep the blood from alternately flooding and evacuating the brain as the head is raised, or lowered to drink water.
		The giraffe looks rather as it it were designed by a committee: the scientiific name 'camelopardalis' indicates a resemblance to both camel (size) and leopard (spots).
		The body is covered in large, irregularly shaped patches of colour divided from one another by a network of light-coloured, off-white or yellowish-white bands, which tend to darken with age.

	Giraffe - Giraffa camelopardalis - ARKive
		The giraffe's neck is made up of the same number of neck bones (vertebrae) as most mammals, including humans, but they are much larger and linked by ball and socket joints for improved flexibility.
		The specific name of the giraffe comes from the Latin ‘camelopardalis', meaning ‘camel marked like a leopard', owing to their buff background with brown blotches, which helps to camouflage them in the dappled light and shade patterns created by the trees they feed on.
		Giraffes have two horn-like structures about 13 cm long made of skin-covered bone; they are thin and tufted in females and thick and bald on top in males, as a result of wearing during fights with other males.

		The giraffe is also known for its spots.
		In fact, the Romans called the giraffe "camelopardalis," meaning "camel marked like a leopard." These spots are unique to each giraffe, much like fingerprints are unique to each human.
		In fact, people who study many giraffes can distinguish between the different giraffes just by looking at their spots.
