How do you tell one giraffe from another giraffe? That was the question for University of Idaho biology major Keegan Webb when he traveled to South Africa as part of an internship.

Webb ended up in Zingela, which is home to many animals, including giraffes. He was there to help researchers tell giraffes apart, which can be tricky! Webb joined Idaho Matters to talk more about his experience and research.
