“…Similarly, wry nose and brachygnathia inferior have also been observed and have mainly been documented in wild cervid and bovid species (Hoy et al 2011; Chu et al 2020; Cunningham and Mead 2022). Although the cause of wry nose is unknown, it is unlikely inheritable; in contrast, brachygnathia inferior is hypothesized to be associated with heritable homozygous recessive genes (Mousquer et al 2019; Canatan et al 2020; Cunningham and Mead 2022). The female Nubian giraffe in Kidepo Valley National Park, Uganda is part of a small, recently augmented population that underwent a significant bottleneck of three individuals in 1993 (Reynolds 1993) and is now estimated at >70 individuals.…”
