People have marveled over the giraffe's height and beauty for thousands of years. When the first zoo was established by Queen Hatshepsut 3,500 years ago, a giraffe was transported 1,500 miles down the Nile River for the Queen's zoo. In 1827, when a giraffe was placed on public display for the first time in Paris, it nearly caused a riot. The arrival of the giraffe also started a fashion frenzy, influencing hairstyles, clothing, and accessories. It's the giraffe's speed, not its height, that gave it its name. "Giraffe" comes from the Arab word xirapha (zee-RAF-ah), which means "the one that walks very fast". There is only 1 species of giraffe.
