One of the world's most amazing creatures that draws people into Zoo's across the world may be in danger. Hunting and poaching have endangered these animals lives. Numbers have dropped from 140,000 to 80,000 just over a 15-year span. Numbers are steadily decreasing in Central and East Africa because it's believed that giraffe bone marrow can be used to cure HIV. Giraffes are being killed and used for food, clothing, shoes, bags, belts, hats, and covers. This is quickly becoming a "silent extinction". #savethegiraffes
