time film and television director Alison Reid heard the story of Anne Innis Dagg she was captivated and the feeling never let go. As Alison listened to “Wild Journey”, a CBC radio documentary that told the tale of Anne’s pioneering journey to study giraffes in South Africa in 1956, she was riveted by every word. Alison immediately read Pursuing Giraffe: A 1950’s Adventure (the book Anne wrote about that experience) and knew she had to make a film about it. As she was starting to develop a scripted movie, Anne was invited to attend a Giraffe Indaba (or conference) in Nairobi. She would be returning to Africa to see giraffes in the wild for the first time in 57 years. For Alison this was an historic event – one that she couldn’t miss recording. There was no time to raise financing. So, she took a leap of faith, found a small crew willing to go to Africa, and self-financed the trip. That is how the documentary, The Woman Who Loves Giraffes was born. Now completed, the feature documentary film has screened in festivals around the world, charming audiences and critics and winning awards. For more information visit The Woman Who Loves Giraffes .

While toting her memoir recounting her seminal journey, Pursuing Giraffe: A 1950s Adventure, Anne caught the attention of filmmaker Alison Reid which resulted in the award-winning feature documentary The Woman Who Loves Giraffes. The subsequent publicity surrounding the film and Anne’s books has boosted her notoriety to a global level. Anne Innis Dagg officially received apologies from the academic institutions that once shunned her along with numerous Honorary Doctorates. In 2019 the University of Guelph established the Dr. Anne Innis Dagg Summer Research Scholarship awarded annually to one female undergraduate student majoring in either Zoology or Biodiversity. In 2020 the Governor General of Canada awarded Anne with the nation’s highly coveted designation of merit, the Order of Canada. Anne continued to write books, contribute to research and was an active member of her community in Waterloo, Canada until her passing on April 1, 2024. https://anneinnisdaggfoundation.org/allaboutanne daily 0.75 2026-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8751f3793ad46749052635/1594922331203-XJY90Y56QA4HOGG1PHPH/AID+Website_Colour+Block+%28tan%29.jpg All About Anne Anne was born on January 25th, 1933 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8751f3793ad46749052635/1595281144986-9ELUZN8WGXNIYYGT7RD5/AID+Website_Colour+Block+%28grey%29.jpg All About Anne In 2018, an award-winning documentary detailing Anne’s life was released, The Woman Who Loves Giraffes, directed by Alison Reid. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8751f3793ad46749052635/1594934902921-6L0W5O6AYBRM92IGXOAI/AID+Website_Colour+Block+%28orange%29.jpg All About Anne “Zoologist Anne Innis Dagg...offered a groundbreaking survey of the phenomenon [homosexual behaviour] among mammals in 1984 that was light-years ahead of her contemporaries…”. - Author Bruce Bagemihl, Biological Exuberance (1999) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8751f3793ad46749052635/1595279536891-T6JUS7RF0905OAJ57KOH/AID+Website_Colour+Block+%28grey%29.jpg All About Anne Anne was born left handed. In kindergarten her left hand was tied behind her back to force her to use her right. Teachers eventually gave up trying to “retrain” her.

This description gave rise to the species name for giraffe, “Giraffa camelopardalis” which means “fast walking camel leopard”. The Ancient Greeks believed the giraffe was a cross between a camel and a leopard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8751f3793ad46749052635/1610487303132-W83KCRJF7GFBV3KH7Z7U/DSCN1466.jpeg Giraffe Facts Updated Giraffe have a large surface area of skin which is a prime habitat for ticks to flourish. Luckily, the African oxpecker bird and giraffe have a symbiotic relationship. These small parasitic birds help to keep the giraffes healthy by feasting off the bugs and larvae in the giraffe hide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8751f3793ad46749052635/1609954178909-TADMG6N2VL0AVPKBX8H0/DSC00168.jpg Giraffe Facts Updated Male and female giraffe in the wild have different feeding behaviours. Males are taller and need more food so they browse high up on the trees, away from the competition of smaller females. By browsing up high, males can also keep a wary eye out for approaching competing males. Males also take in a greater mouthful than females because they have bigger mouths. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8751f3793ad46749052635/1609974983588-CDZRO2FC0T3GHPYG7EWN/Giraffe_Group.jpg Giraffe Facts Updated Giraffes are social animals and live in a complex society. Herd mates are mostly friends and relatives, but also have frequent changes in composition. Some herd mates probably grew up together in a nursery group. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8751f3793ad46749052635/1609976068058-5R1Z0XVVR52SF28AK7AT/Giraffe_Running.jpg Giraffe Facts Updated Giraffes do not trot like other ungulates because their long back legs would collide with their front legs with each stride. When they need to move quickly, they gallop more or less in the same manner as a horse and can reach speeds of up to 56 km/hr (35 miles/hr) and can sustain this speed for up to 2 km (1.2 miles). The giraffes’ main predator, the lion, can run faster (80 km/hr or 50 mph), but only for short distances. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8751f3793ad46749052635/b8a7c004-cf0e-46bd-b423-17101151f97a/DSCN3088.jpg Giraffe Facts Updated Every giraffe has a unique colour pattern that does not change over its lifetime, much like humans have unique fingerprints. At first observation, the hide pattern of giraffes may look fairly similar but they are totally unique. Researchers studying giraffes look for a unique pattern on each giraffe so they can tell them apart from other giraffes and note their behaviour and movements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8751f3793ad46749052635/1609389177395-LHFKLXNPMHN9MLUTQ7BP/AID+Website_Colour+Block+%28orange%29.jpg Giraffe Facts Updated White giraffes exist but are very rare. If they have dark eyes and pigment in their tail they are not albino, but instead have a condition called leucism which is a partial loss of pigmentation. Whereas the uniquely patterned giraffe coat is a result of a lengthy evolutionary pattern, leucism results from a one-time genetic mutation. This mutation is not necessarily advantageous to the animal but may put it at a disadvantage with poor camouflage or mating competition.

They use their tails to swat away flies and other insects. When running, giraffe lift their tails and curl it into a circle, keeping it out of the way of their hind legs and clear from a predators’ reach! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8751f3793ad46749052635/1610120328982-6EB2EDNTO944GMV8YBUN/Giraffe_Single+Close+Up+2.jpg Giraffe Facts Updated The horn-like protrusions on both male and female giraffes’ heads are called ossicones. They are technically neither horns nor antlers, but are ossified cartilage covered in skin and fur! The cartilage is replaced by bone when they become adults. The male giraffes’ ossicones are larger than those of females and may grow up to 25cm (10”) long. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8751f3793ad46749052635/1610133169057-CBO02C5E5764RZFPTVCF/DSCN2272.jpg Giraffe Facts Updated Although a giraffes’ neck is ultra long, it is too short to reach the ground! In order to drink, a giraffe must splay its legs wide and awkwardly crouch, bending at the knees to lower its head towards the water. In the wild, this is a vulnerable stance to maintain not only because of the awkward body position but also because their number one line of defence, eyesight, is hindered. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8751f3793ad46749052635/1610581295341-T10U6B5S30B1HA0AQEVC/Giraffe_Close%2BUp.jpg Giraffe Facts Updated Giraffe seem to communicate over large distances, but the exact mechanism has not been confirmed. It is speculated that giraffes may communicate using infrasound, which is a frequency below what humans are able to detect. Although giraffe may use such acoustic calls to communicate, further research is needed to examine this mystery. Giraffes have vocal cords. Close observation has determined they hum, grunt, snort and bleat. Males emit loud coughs during courtship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8751f3793ad46749052635/1610144308696-PRKEL9927KRSYYKMYNJA/IMG_2539%2Bby%2BShannon%2BRutherford.jpg Giraffe Facts Updated Baby giraffes born in captivity can weigh 60kg (132 lb) and already be 1.75 m (5.7 ft) tall. This means they are nearly as tall as a person as soon as they are born. Calves in the wild can be even heavier and taller than those born in zoos. (Anne Dagg with giraffe mother Mstari and baby Amani Innis Dagg at the Toronto Zoo. Amani was 4 1/2 months old when this picture was taken.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8751f3793ad46749052635/1610425241127-FH4GNCE52HISZ3BRZ2KK/IMG_6127.jpg Giraffe Facts Updated Some zoos provide extra activities and specific human contact to provide mental and physical stimulation for the giraffes. As an example, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado works at training giraffe and getting them used to human interaction and touch. They have been successful at training giraffe to do many things such as step on a weigh scale, stand still, or move forward and back, as well as lift their feet up on a block for hoof trimming. These activities are helpful when zookeepers need to interact with giraffe to do health checks or medical interventions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8751f3793ad46749052635/1610469299060-CD8XOPC9HHSSRFMSQRIA/IMG_7446.jpg Giraffe Facts Updated Less than 100,000 giraffe roam the continent of Africa, or about 25% the number of elephants in Africa. Giraffe are in serious trouble with numbers plummeting by close to 40% over the last 30 years. Some subspecies of giraffe are more threatened than others and are listed as “vulnerable” (Thornicroft’s and West African giraffe), “endangered” (Reticulated giraffe), and “critically endangered” (Kordofan and Nubian giraffe) based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List 2018 report. This list is a critical indicator of the world’s biodiversity and aims to be an easily and widely understood system for classifying species at high risk for global extinction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8751f3793ad46749052635/1610493172733-OGZXCN8EJMB4XYQO6SPU/IMG_5714%2B2%2Bcropped%2Blegs.jpg Giraffe Facts Updated When astronauts have a lengthy stay in space, their leg veins get weaker, due to the fact that the circulatory system of the legs don’t have to work as hard to pump the blood back up the body. This means astronauts’ veins get lazy and weak, causing quite a few problems when they return back to Earth. NASA circumvented this problem by studying baby giraffes. Baby giraffes learn how to stand immediately after being born due to their rapidly inflating leg veins! Inspired by this natural adaptation, NASA created the Lower Body Negative Pressure Process. This device seals around the astronauts waist and applies vacuum pressure, quickly expanding the leg veins and making blood rush into the legs and pelvic area. The astronaut’s leg veins remain strong when this pressure is applied regularly. https://anneinnisdaggfoundation.org/media-coverage daily 0.75 2026-01-30 https://anneinnisdaggfoundation.org/ourteam daily 0.75 2025-10-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8751f3793ad46749052635/1586378916775-FTSOH6GGO0TQ0VSJMF8Z/Anne_website-resized-REV.jpg Our Team - Dr. Anne Innis Dagg, Founder (1933-2024) Tobias Keene, D.D.S.
