Conservationists devised a novel rescue plan to save eight stranded giraffes in Kenya (Credit:Ami Vitale / Save Giraffes Now)

In 2011, conservationists moved eight Rothschild's giraffes to Longicharo Island, a rocky peninsula on Lake Baringo in Western Kenya. The scientists hoped the isolated area would save the endangered animals from poachers and allow their numbers to multiply. However, intense rainfall in August 2020 caused the lake water levels to rise substantially, cutting the area off from the mainland and reducing the once lush, 100-acre habitat to about eight acres.

          It's so cool that each giraffe has its own personality like how Asiwa didn't really want to go on the ferry but Lbarnoti just went on the ferry to eat and eat on the snacks. The poor thing's must have been so scared with the island shrinking and there was nothing to eat.
