Giraffe sounds

I feel like the giraffe sound section should be expanded. It's a myth that giraffes only make sounds that are barely detectable. Giraffes make loud noises more than people think, often when they or their calves are in danger. They growl pretty much like a camel would and hiss. It'd be good if that could be included.

Four species

A new study has come out further supporting the existence of four species, with seven subspecies: [1] —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 05:19, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What do the admins think? There are now multiple sources that support the 4 species model. Should the article be changed to reflect this? Somed00d1997 (talk) 16:19, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
