And related words:

...which leads to other spotted things: Aren't there at least two types of giraffes--the Masai giraffe and the...something like tesselated giraffe? But that's not right. It certainly isn't the matriculated giraffe! Ha! Shoot. I'm gonna have to go google giraffes now.

Google should be in the dictionary.

Just remembered the giraffe: Reticulated giraffe - the netted giraffe.

There are probably more than two kinds other than the reticulated and the Masai. Still need to google 'em.
