The Nubian giraffe, G. c. camelopardalis, is the nominate subspecies, meaning its Latin subspecific name is the same as that of the entire species because it was the first specimen recorded. The estimated number of Nubian giraffe is below 650, of which fewer than 200 are believed to occur in western Ethiopia and 450 or less may be in South Sudan. Exact information about this precariously small and fragmented population is extremely difficult to ascertain; large herds have been reported in South Sudan, but it has been impossible to determine whether they were G. c. camelopardalis, the relatively numerous G. c. antiquorum, the dwindling G. c. reticulata or even the Endangered G. c. rothschildi.
