Can be found alongside the neutral Giraffe packs that roam around the Southern Barrens.

These walk alongside with Dusthoof Giraffe in Southern Barrens.
So if you want one, search for Dusthoof Giraffe and patrol their path.

I know there are some at far south aswell, not listed on map.

After catching it, this is one of the tallest pets in the game. Its height almost equals that of a female night elf! :)

Although most commonly found in herds or following a single giraffe, these mobs can rarely be found wandering solo, or with another calf.

When clicked, they make a throaty grunting/groaning sound. Rather like the giraffes that are already on the plains when they aggro, though slightly higher-pitched (they're calves after all).

Dementron의 댓글

They seem to spawn with adult giraffes, so killing the adults to force them to respawn greatly increases your odds of finding the calves.

Took me two days to finally get one: 1st attempt, I spent hours searching and then -doh!- lost the battle (just like Vegatifa did). 2nd attempt, after several more hours of flying all over the southern barrens, killing zebras, lions, and regular ol' giraffes, (in the hopes that the re-spawn would be a giraffe calf) I finally found one! I won the battle that time too! I used my lvl 10 singing sunflower, because it's 'lash' spell hardly damages critters; I was able to avoid killing it. However, all that time and effort only to receive a... "poor" rated giraffe calf.... *sob*

I have noticed that the giraffes share spawn points with zhevras. I have not seen them yet share a spawn with plainstriders. I have been camping a few spawn points and it seems to be a %50 chance to get either a zhevra or giraffe. I have seen over 50 giraffe spawns and no calf yet. So if you want to increase the giraffe spawn rate, make sure to be killing zhevras too!

3:40am: Just found one! (only common quality and was accompanied by a rare small frog I had to kill >.>) Was not accompanied by any giraffe in the area.

shintorg의 댓글

Spent 2hrs farming a Giraffe spawn. 8 Zhevra and 8 Giraffe. Not a pet spawned with them. I do think the pets can spawn near where a mob could spawn, but they are independent.

I logged on at 0600 cst and found 2 giraffe calfs, one in a group with adults and one all alone in the top of Southeren Barrens. Hope that helps.

VicarChromaggus의 댓글

After reading the comments above, I started my own experiment.

According to my own conclusions of this experiment, there are about 5 giraffe spawns 'safe'.
The other 4 spawns will be killed quickly by lions.

I focussed purely on killing zhevras, after making sure the 5 'safe' spawns had a giraffe, I finished off the remaining zhevras and moved south towards the razorfen dungeons.

Halfway I ran into a herd of barren giraffes with a calf cheerfully jumping towards me.

Could be some sort of key sequence to trigger a spawn.

Or possibly, when there are more giraffes and less zhevras the barren herd (which is only one herd) will spawn and run north from razorfen..

After reading various theories, I found that the Giraffe Calf DOES NOT spawn with the Dusthoof Giraffes. Killing them, and any Zhevras or Plainstriders does not work. They spawn with Barrens Giraffes. (And sometimes alone too, but this is NOT tied to the other mobs in the area, except perhaps roaming Gazelles).

Try killing any roaming Gazelle (or even lone Gazelles) south of the Overgrowth. A few minutes of killing and waiting for the Gazelle herds to respawn netted me a calf... it was poor quality, but I'll take what I can get for now! lol hopefully one day I can at least find an uncommon one!

I'd like to emphasize that packs of Barrens Giraffes also spawn all over the map... so just do a circuit while you're waiting for the gazelle packs to respawn.

TL;DR -- If you find a calf with some Barrens Giraffes (the only "adults" they spawn with), please be sure to kill the adults too to allow others to have a chance!

2nd edit: I'm not 100% sure about the Gazelles anymore, but it gives you something to do while waiting! haha :) All I know is when I killed a pair of Gazelles, suddenly I saw a pair of Barrens giraffes go by with a calf, so that's what led me to my "conclusion". If anyone has information that proves that the Gazelles don't affect the spawn, please feel free to add your dataz!

Just got one right away, but when looking for a rare version, I've had 3 despawn on me as I approached it to battle.

Praxidice의 댓글

I'd like to add that at the time of writing this, there is a bug regarding battle-pets being viewed while on a taxi. Flying down from Ratchet via gryphon I saw 2 giraffe calves on my minimap. On landing I immediately flew back to where they had been. There were no lions, no other people, indeed no giraffes. There was no time for them to have been scooped up by other players. Reading about other peoples' similar experiences with other rares like Minfernals and the like it appears that this is an unfortunate bug. At the very least some issue with being in a different phase while flying or possibly a different realm. Regardless, I hope it is resolved soon as every time I see these spawns and then find out they're not real, it hurts my heart. X(

Considering that I found one right away after the server restarts today, this pet appears to be on a rare spawn timer.

1039411의 댓글

Just got mine, first run! Took about 10 minutes of killing the adult giraffe packs until a pack spawned with one. As I was leaving, flew over another one. Rare blue catch - Level 9, 650 health.

Caught one at 8:51am Server time in S. Barrens just north of Ft. Triumph on the East side of the main path. I hope this helps ppl figure in how to catch it if in fact time of day is a factor! (Stormscale Server).

Pubrulz의 댓글

Level 9
Health 565 (after capture)
Power 73
Speed 88
Rarity: Common

As these are hard to come by considering everyone is looking for them, I am satisfied for the time being with what I got. There were 2 that spawned with the 3 pack of wandering Barrens Giraffe, and both had the same power/speed stats.

Please be considerate and share these spawns. I know there is a compulsion to seek uncommon and rare quality versions but these calf are unneccesarily hard to come by (thanks a lot, CRZ).
Blizzard has announced a new feature for 5.1 to allow you to increase the rarity level of pets you capture: Blizzard Blog. "Several UI and other improvements will be added to the Pet Battles system, including a way to upgrade the rarity of pets that you’ve captured."

After camping and killing for three days, I took a quick fly-by over Southern Barrens today omw somewhere else, and happened upon one! It was travelling with BARRENS Giraffes, three of them, just walking down the road. I caught it between Fort Triumph and the Ruins of Taurajo.

Quality: Common (white)
Level:546
Health:74
Power89
(These stats are after capture; I was too excied to notice if they differed beforehand, other than that it was a level 9).

If anyone cares, it was o Stonemaul, just before 7 pm server time. Two hordes swooped down while I was taming to watch, so you have to be fast!

1036751의 댓글

Anyone else just think "hmm I'll go catch one of these" and not expect there to be 10+ people desperately camping them?

I found ONE adult giraffe on its own. No others giraffes around Southen Barrens at all. There I was thinking picking one of these pets up would be a doddle. :/

Edit: I found one just when passing through. There was a male + female giraffe with a calf walking beside them just south of Fort Triumph . Caught the calf. Didn't see any more after that around the area. Calf didn't respawn with the family after capture.

SylviaDragon의 댓글

I think I may know how this works now. I spent two or three hours flying in circles and killing the full grown giraffes and found nothing. Then I tried switching to killing the other battle pets. I ran around shooting all the Perry dogs and Adders and almost right away I found three giraffe calfs. (One of which wasn’t even with an adult) Maybe their spawn isn’t related to the adult mobs but connected to the other battle pets in the zone? Has anyone else tried this and had better luck? Could have just been dumb luck but who knows.

Duerma의 댓글

Giraffe calves will not appear as the second pet in a battle. It seems that whenever they would come up, they are replaced with a non-capturable gazelle instead.

smvs232의 댓글

Just found one at 44.5 , 75.8 wandering around with three "adult" giraffes around midnight server time.

(Just SE of desolation hold for people that don't use Map coordinates)

People must believe that killing the adults will help spawn the baby faster since I kept passing the corpses of the three adults while I was looking myself.

1043501의 댓글

These are not as rare as some would like you to believe, Giraffe packs (Barrens Giraffes only) spawn with them at close to 75%, and the giraffes are on a close to 7 min respawn timer.

Edit: To be clear, the calves appear to only spawn when the giraffe pack spawns, while there are a few calf spawns that seem to not be tied to a pack, for the others to respawn, you MUST kill the other giraffes next to the calf as well.

Audacity92의 댓글

I have no idea how some people are getting so lucky with these. I've been back for 3 sets of 2 hours now, killing all of the mobs (Pridemanes, Plainstriders and Giraffe packs).

Perhaps it's a morning thing?

EDIT: Logged in at 5:00am ST (The Maelstrom) and bam, 2 of them within 20 seconds. Could be luck or the fact many people were asleep, who knows!

Driva의 댓글

My tip is to go for these after server restart. I found six in the morning after a restart. You can combine it with the 오닉시아의 새끼, which is close by, and also pops up in larger numbers after reset. I'd say begin with the little dragons, since they seem to be more popular.

Seem not to exist. Plenty of prairie dogs and adders.

1044793의 댓글

I can confirm that killing the giraffes helps make them spawn. And just to be safe I killed every battle pet in the area as well. Also wanted to see if any of the other battle pets around would bring one into battle w/ them. No such luck. Hope this helps.

i have a video of a fight against a giraffe calf, its pretty one sided, but at least you get an idea of what to expect, also features a rare Emerald Boa, which i captured. I would suggest that everyone remotely interested in pet battles to get the add-on Battle Pet- Quality Notifier, its very helpful.

Edit: i cant post links yet, so search WoW Pet battles: Giraffe Calf, it should be the first one on the list.

Id like to say, ive been hunting this pet for a week now. but had too much competition, I tried doing alll the tricks I read on this forum but I have to say, if you really want it, then set the alarm clock and log in at about 4am,5am or 6am game time, southern barrens is CRAWLING with girraf calves. I found 3 without even trying, I killed the barrens girraffes that were with the calves and like 10 minutes later there they were again, enough to farm untill i had an uncomon, still trying for a rare.

nothing else works. no killing other pets, no killing dusthooves or lions, or zevras or packs of wandering gazelles, do the work and get up early, catch till your heart drops and go back to bed

Waaaaah! I finally found a Giraffe Calf only to accidentally kill it while reducing it's health for trapping! Pity me, please!

1046402의 댓글

Was lucky enough to be flying over the point at the exact moment they spawned, just south-east of Descolation Hold as smvs232 said, although Id just given up on farming for them for 30mins and was heading to Mulgore to grab a Gazelle calf for a temporary replacement lol. It was poor quality but Ill wait till the next patch comes out and I can grind for stones to make it rare, it'll sit in my journal till then. Can confirm poor was a lvl9 with about 460ish HP, kept healing itself too so made it tricky to catch. Good luck to everyone searching!

jxnboy007의 댓글

Just caught one of my own! I've been hunting frantically just as much as everyone else with no results. This particular night/morning, I had killed a few mobs and battle pets in the area and had actually left it for a while (2-6 minutes). Upon returning a lone calf was running about and I nearly fell out of my chair! Luckily, I had prepared for a flexible battle as the calf kept healing itself over and over. I knew I had 3 pets vs. 2 so, all I really had to do was hold out while trying to capture and not manage to accidentally kill it; as I have so many other battle pet capture attempts.
Here's the info:
5:40am Eastern U.S.
Tuesday PRE-server maintenance/reset
location= 43,55 Southern Barrens
Giraffe Calf lvl 9- "common"
B/P used: lvl 9 Adder (C), lvl 9 Beetle (U/C), lvl 17 Lil' XT

Good Luck!

**edit: Worked on this a second time with a friend. Just north of the first spot across the road. It was about 6:30am Eastern U.S. (3:30am server). Worked on killing everything at first. Then I killed a zhevra in the spot until a Duskhoof Giraffe showed up and I left him alone. Cleared off the other battle pets and then kept clearning the lions all around. After this, the little Calf showed up for her. I wonder if it has anything to do with clearing out the lions that normally pounce on the peaceful critters? Once the little calf is safe, he comes running out?

Found one of these just now, and lost it due to a bug, i got off 3 attacks, then the giraffe calf just got endless attacks without me ever getting a turn again, this just sucks :/ (mostly he just used tranquility over and over again, but i still eventually died).

Seems like the best time is early morning. There were around 6-7 at 7:30am.
I got a green, i'm happy. BTW half of them did not have adults with them. I did kill those that did.
Don't know if that had any baring on it tho.

mizz의 댓글

I've caught an uncommon one at 1:00 am (CEST) just outside Fort Triumph. The calf was roaming with a pack of two Barrens Giraffes, I think the pack that travels on the road between Ruins of Turajo and Fort Triumph. On a side note, half hour earlier I saw another Giraffe Calf alongside two Barrens Giraffes, just outside Ruins of Turajo (on the right side of the road), but missed to tag it (my heart broke a little bit). Now, since the zone is very camped, maybe I missed the whole pack respawn between the first Calf and the one I actually caught, but it's also possible that the pack itself had an half hour respawn time. Good luck!

Beautiful detail on the giraffe's coat and every once in a while she sways her neck like she was trying to shake the kinks out. One of a handful of new battle pets I never gave much thought to until I had one following me around and ended up falling in love with.

More (probably pointless) data, but I found one following a pair of Barrens Giraffe just north of Desolation Hold at 42, 66, around 15:25 server time. Got an uncommon out of it, lucky lucky! Will follow them a bit longer to see if another one will spawn, or if they only pop one per "parent" spawn. They're wandering back and forth in that little "strip" of land north of the hold, and not only is it a short path to monitor, the people who are currently camping either side of the rift farther east and south have yet to fly over this spot.

As a side note, a couple of days ago I accidentally killed one just west of Bael Modan when one of my pets got a bit overzealous and got off a crit on the last hit I needed to bring it to capturable health. Bad Fossilized Hatchling! I followed the adult giraffe around for a while after that, hoping for another, but gave up after a half an hour. There is an obscenely long respawn rate on these, and, like many posters before me, I really recommend trying for them after server resets. I'm only following them for science and data now; if another spawns I'll leave it for others because I'm awesome like that, since I just captured mine and want to give others a shot at one of their own. :)

Edit: Right, I've been following them for over an hour now, and I've got nothing. Can't be arsed to sit here further, off to actually catch something somewhere else. So yes, and ouch, the respawn is bloody well awful on these things. If you actually find one, for the love of the Light, CATCH it, regardless of quality, for you'll not likely get the chance again for a day or two. :-\

I decided to set up camp just south of The Overgrowth, killing everything; battle pets, critters, yellows and reds (just in case lol). This was early afternoon on a Sunday. After about an hour, two hours at the most, I came out of a battlegroud and there it was with two Barrens Giraffes walking right by me. I realized then that it will be found with Barrens Giraffes (which are a little bit smaller than the others), and not with the Dusthoof Giraffes. I submitted a screenshot of the map with the pat of the Barrens Giraffes I found. I do not know the specific spawn point, nor any other spawn points for these giraffes. I just thought maybe this would help some of you to have a little more knowledge of a specific spot to look. EDIT: Okay so since my screenshot hasn't been approved, the pat of the Barrens Giraffes I found was pretty much circling the little camp between Vendetta Point and Forward Command.

If rare battle pets seem like the thing of dreams, like for me, try this:

1) Wait for a realm maintenance. Rolling restarts work too, and are easier to use since they're quicker.
2) Have 2-3 chars on different realms camping some spawn spots. Having them on low-pop realms helps a lot.
3) Wait for realms to start going down or up, then pick a character in a realm that is online. You will know you're good when you get a yellow error message in your chat log saying that your cross-realm zone is offline (sorry, don't have exact quote)
4) Huzzah! You are now in your *own* realm's zone without any pesky neighbouring realms to bug you! Go get those rares!

Your window of opportunity is usually 3-5 minutes or so, but I managed to catch the Minfernal and Flayer Youngling in the same restart session. If you can get online at the right time, this method is foolproof as long as the realm you're using is not too busy on its own.

You can even "scout ahead" by using flight points in the zone, since flight points don't count as cross-realm until you land.

43, 57 wandering alone, 8:00 am realm time. Common quality, but I still got it. Took two weeks of multiple times flying through per day, following Barrens Giraffes for over two hours, and killing what felt like millions of prairie dogs and adders, but I finally, finally got it.

I found mine around 2am, took a few circuits and killed packs of Barrens Giraffes to force respawns, they have 6-8 minute respawn timer and there aren't alot of packs. They spawn in packs of 2-3 as far as I saw. But sure enough eventually I came accross a group of 3 adult ones with 2 babies :) Unfortunately they were both grey, but however.......!

I really don't care hahhaa because with a pet buscuit and now being twice the size of my character who cares! Absolutely amazing!

The more I search for this, the more annoyed I get. Found one after maintenance, it killed my spider, I went to switch pets, couldn't switch around, so Iogged out. Normally when I do that, the pets here, he despawned. This is really nerve racking.

Evangelyne의 댓글

I camped this so much looking for one! Not farming for rares or anything, I just wanted one!

I wanted to add, that after 25-30 hours of farming the spawn areas, I switched to my hunter so I could track barrens giraffes and kill them to 'force' spawns.

The giraffes spawn points are random, so it's important to keep flying around ALL the spawn points once you down the giraffes. I was killing giraffes then waiting at the spawn area for the respawns, for HOURS. Nothing. But, on my hunter, flew around after killing and within 20 minutes I had a calf! That's my tip!

If you aren't a hunter (get someone to) cook you up some tracker snacks. 1 shoveltusk flank and 1 northern spices. You can track beasts for 1 hour. Handy!

Just found mine at 43.16, 57.73 just south of Ruins of Taurajo wandering around by itself in the midst of sleeping lions. Had been trying to get one for a couple of weeks with no luck. I parked an alt at the tree by the road just south of Bael Mordan Excavation as I've seen a few Barrens Giraffe spawn there. My plan was to check for calves each night before logging off to go to bed, as some people with the same bad luck have said they found theirs in the early morning. Found mine just after 2am Server time on Gundrak (Oceanic). So if you're having trouble finding one, I would suggest parking an alt capable of flying and checking it each night. Hope this helps someone :)

Edited to add: I've had times where I've flown around the zone for 2+ hours killing the giraffes trying to force a spawn and not seen any giraffes respawn at all, let alone the calves, and no bodies to show that someone had killed the respawns already. Of course 4 out of 5 times I tried I did get respawns, maybe a calf once or twice, but I've had the no-respawn thing happen more than once too. Then I've had other times when I've been randomly flying over on my way somewhere and on my own mount with no intention of capturing the pets and randomly found 3 in a pack. So yeah, if you have no luck the first time, (or first few times, as the case may be, with the rarity of this pet) persistence is key!

I have just got mine now and there was NO giraffes around.
I found it in Fields of Blood, near Ruins of Taurajo.
Sadly it's a poor quality, but I dont care, i won't look for it anymore...
About 3 days just to find just little Calf.

Found TWO of these today on an alt.

Both were common quality - announced in general to give the second to someone else.

There were no giraffes around their location at all. One was slightly north of camp T ruins, the other in fields of blood - and they have a LONG pat range, unlike a lot of the battle pets.The one I was following to announce led me from one side of camp T all the way to the edge of the alli camp before starting back - so sitting still waiting at a spawn point may not work so well with these guys.

Boy do I have a mini story for you guys! :)

I've been searching for this cutie for a while now and had no luck so I took my alt tonight (My Priest) and headed over to Fields of Blood. Was talking to a few in General who were looking for it as well. We all kept seeing the usual Adders or dem damn dogs so after killing some giraffe's wandering around, I did a fly by near Fort Triumph and low and behold, I saw TWO baby giraffe's walking with their pack.

I immediately invited a Rogue who was looking for one as well, I got into my battle and she flew over and because of CRZ, it PHASED out for her. I was gutted! After I won my battle and tamed, I said I'd stay in group and help look for another!

So I flew over to Fields of Blood and what do I see? ONE lonesome baby girafee calf walking by itself, the Rogue friend flew right over and was able to battle and tame hers as well.

:D

Was definitely a special tame! :)

Keep searching guys, you will get one! Fields of Blood/Fort Triumph seem to be the best spots.

Submitting my picture now. ^_^

Edit: Just to share, I didn't care about quality with this pet because I wanted one so bad but mine was Uncommon.

Found mine today around 6am and it took about an hour of searching (was about to give up).

Found my first 2 Barrens Giraffes at Frazzlecraz Motherlode (south of Desolation Hold) with no pet spawn, and then found another 2 with the spawn just a teensy bit north of Desolation Hold.

I did circles around Southern Barrens using this macro:
/tar dusthoof
/tar barrens
/tar giraffe
Killed the giraffes to reset the spawn timer for others.

Happy hunting! Hope your luck is as good as mine, if not better, since it seems like many others have spent far longer than me searching for this cute lil guy.

(Edit: Messed up the info on where I found the spawns).

Calily의 댓글

I also used the macro :

/tar dusthoof
/tar barrens
/tar giraffe

Whenever I saw a giraffe without a baby I just killed them all. I also killed other yellows/tameable pets hoping to force a spawn. Oh, I also killed gazelles, not sure if they're on the same timer.

I got a couple commons, two uncommons, and finally a rare around The Great Gate 41.92, 53.90.

The commons I found in the very southernmost part and the uncommons I found in the field of blood area and one in desolation hold.

Around 2:20 am after sitting waiting I came here read some comments, someone mentioned to kill Giraffes so I killed all kinds of Giraffes and zebras and rhinos and sure enough ten minutes later after killing my first Giraffe a Giraffe calf popped up right under a Dusthoof Giraffe I just killed. Been there since 8 pm. It's a bloody job.

Edit:
One Common Giraffe Calf by itself South East of Ruins of Taurajo by a brazier 45 62 Uncommon Gazelle joined with it. Just north of this spot you can watch Giraffe spawn and be killed by the lions under the tree. Looked like a good spot if you wanted to camp.

Edit 2:
As I stood there typing this report another player stood with me looking at my freshly tamed Giraffe Calf. Sure enough, moments later a lion killed a Giraffe and another Giraffe Calf showed up just in time for this other player to capture.

I spent over an hour flying around the Southern Barrens and couldn't find even an adult Giraffe. So I started killing battle pets all along the mountain range to the North West. Still nothing spawned. Eventually I found 2 adult Barrens Giraffe at the southern point of the battlescar. I killed them and waited for them to respawn as I heard they can respawn with a calf, but still nothing after 10 minutes. So I flew North again and found a pack of Barrens Giraffe's and one Calf! :) Finally! Captured it easily, got a Green Uncommon one. This was just North of Desolation Hold, as if u were almost in Desolation Hold's grounds.

So far out of the 15+ calves that I have seen, I have never seen any of them accompanying the dusthoof giraffes, almost every one of them were with adults barrens giraffes. So I have doubt on whether killing the dusthoofs or other beasts around the area would help at all.

A short while after the server came up this week (the server maintenance was expected to end at noon and the server came up at 7:30am instead, I logged on at 8), I went and checked the giraffes and I counted around 5 packs of 2/3 adults with 1/2 calves each. I checked each of the spawn and didn't find any rare, left the adults up and went to do dailies. About 2 hours later I came back and all 5 packs were intact and no calves has respawned. (so this time I cleared all of them).

Yesterday when I was checking them up I noticed a lone calf wandering at around 50.6,51.2. Since I usually find the gazelles there I was wondering whether those two spawns are related.
However, earlier today I came across with a lone adult with 2 calves, and as soon as I finished checking the calves the adult was killed by one of the lions. Then A few hours later I found 2 lone calves wandering at the exact same spot. So it is possible that any lone calves you encounter are just the leftovers when their adults have been killed by the lions. (and are mistakened as spawns with Dusthoof Giraffes if they are close by)

Edited: It would seem there the calves can indeed spawn alone without any adult around. I have seen at least 3 spots where they would spawn and only stays at that spot, instead of continuing on the route when the adults they've been accompanying are killed.

So I hate to admit i dedicated 7 hours straight to catching this little giraffe calf. I wokeup at 6am and started the grind. I had read all the tips and such on the forum about killing at the girfaffes and battle pets in the area. Although i'm not 100% if killing all the dusthoof giraffes helped, I reallly dont think killing the other battle pets does anything. 7 hours...seriously. I took a 2 hour break and didnt even bother with the other battle pets, just running around killing all giraffes and scanning the area.

In 7 hours, i came across 6. Honestly not too many people have the patience to farm it. Or atleast the ones i saw stayed and farmed for maybe an hour. A tip: Be wary of using your mechanical animals against the giraffe calf . All the ones i fought were lvl10 and my mechanical is lvl 8, and by the magical forces id crit for 200 and kill it dead. So i got it down to 250 and used my whelpling to finish and trap him. I will also say that the dusthoof giraffes, and zhevra share a timer, one or the other will spawn.

All the giraffe calves I came across wern't in typical spawn spots, just slightly off. So in lieu of my Giraffe genocide, i'll post the most frequest cords I found. As other posters said I never saw it with a dusthoof giraffe, only barren, or alone. Good luck!

Apparently the Barrens Giraffe couples roaming Southern Barrens get busy during server restart! My new calf was accompanying two adults right near the excavation site right after restart, we also got one for my sister :)

A serious pain in the ass. Don't fight these guys with the wrong lvl pet, that was my mistake the firs time, took me nearly 3 hours getting another. 2 of them and they're both poor. Oh well, better than nothing. These guys are TIME CONSUMING.

Caught three in one morning without killing any Adults/Dusthoofs. Came across one as soon as I entered the zone and caught it. Did a lap and when I got back to the top of SB another two had spawned side by side.

It took me a couple of days to get this. I recommend looking around with multiple servers/factions if possible to increase your chances of seeing them. I camped an alliance toon in Southern Barrens to look around periodically, not seeing any. Then I took a horde toon on another server and as I flew in I saw 3 Giraffe Calfs scattered in the zone. I checked the areas where they should have been and there were none to be found. There wasn't anyone else in the zone at the time I was there, so no one could have tamed all 3 giraffe calfs within 2 minutes of me getting there.

I came back later than night and saw this particular calf in flight as I had seen the others earlier. This one was right by Vendetta Point. The giraffe traveled really fast, by himself. When I went to capture him he had moved clear over to 46, 42. Some people mentioned accidentally killing the calf when taming. I used a deer which does minimal dmg & has a couple heals and it worked great, lvl 9 "common" quality.

Someone in an earlier post mentioned there might be a bug:

By royiouson (150 – 2) 7 days ago (Patch 5.1.0)
I've also seen these while on a taxi, flown back, and they weren't there - has this bug been fixed?

but I think the lions may be killing them. There were lions wherever I saw the calfs from the air. If you are going to camp the area I would recommend killing all the lions you see just in case.

It's 2:30pm Realm Time, I found a baby wandering by itself near the Alliance campsite near the forest border in Field of Blood. I've posted a screenshot to help you find the exact spot where i found it. The calf was walking from the direction of Taurajo, and its path curved around the hill and sent him towards the forest, on the tiny strip of grassland between the hills and the road. I didn't wait very long to watch his path because I didn't want someone to steal him from me.

Honestly, I didn't know the giraffes traveled that far north, I've only ever found Dusthoofs in the northern area of Southern Barrens. If you guys find one, make sure to post a map of where and the route it seemed to take. That may help others who haven't caught theirs yet.

I ran into two of these together at 46.3, 58.2 - Just south of the Ruins of Tujaro. They were not travelling with any "parents".

I was beginning to give up home but I was able to catch a poor quality calf in the very early morning. I suggest if you have multiple characters on other servers to park them in the different spots where they spawn and just check them daily. That is how I got mine! Good luck.

Having spent my hours (and days, and weeks) running around South barrens, I thought I'd share a bit of what I've learned on these, along with some still unanswered questions...

To increase your chance of finding these elusive beasts, remember the following:

1: There are two kinds of adult giraffe in this zone. Dusthoof Giraffes are irrelvant - you may as well ignore them.
2: Barrens Giraffes are all patrolling spawns. They do not shuffle around a single location, so if you think any mobs are placeholding and they are doing the same-spot shuffle, they are not placeholders.
3: While it is possible to encounter giraffe calves on their lonesome (or in pairs), without exception when I've seen them they have been walking the same path as one of the adult spawns - presumably mum, dad and strange uncle Jim have been picked off by lions, which for some reason ignore the calves (I've seen them do this - take out the adults and leave the calves).
4: If you are after a rare (since those stones that Blizz put in to level up pet quality seem impossibly elusive) then you are in this for the long haul. You will see more rare mobs (of the silver dragon type) than you will giraffe calves of any quality.

So. When you find some Barrens Giraffes, spend some time following them. They always patrol the same routes. Learn the dozen or so routes for the different groups, and you will save yourself a lot of running around - you can cover all the routes in a single circuit of the zone once you know their quirks.

They appear to be timed spawns. I've not nailed down the precise delay, but it's long. I initially though somewhere between one and two hours, but it ended up being 7 (as per my comment below). I am pretty sure that the calf spawns ae independent from the prarie dogs and adders that litter the zone, so it's probably only worth fighting them to level up your existing pets since clearing them will not spawn more calves.

What I don't know is whether calves only spawn when the adults do, or if the adults (if left alone with a DVD and bottle of wine) will produce another one (like the mommy infested bears do over in Hillsbrad, or the Diemetradon hatchlings do in Ungoro). Which means I don't know if it is better to kill the adults to clear the spawn, or leave them to do their thing. So if anyone knows the answer, please say!

Finally got one, on Christmas morning! :) He was walking all by himself near the Ruins of Taurajo. I didn't kill or battle anything beforehand, was just flying laps around the zone as usual and he just sort of popped up. As someone said before, he walks a really long distance, and I guess it's the long legs but he walks fast. I dismounted and was stressing out trying to switch out pets so that my high level pets didn't accidentally one shot him, and when I looked back up he was hauling ass away from me.

All in all 3 hours and 2 days worth. Followed advice and flew around Desolation hold, Fort Triumph up to Forward command and Vendetta Point, killing all Giraffe and Zebra in my way...Finally happened upon 2 adults at 47;63 on the road out of Fort Triumph and killed them thinking i have not seen two together before, i went back around one more time about 5 mins later and found another 2 at exactly 48;75 and i think they were the same 2 perhaps respawned and taking the path back up to where i had killed the last 2. Anyhow this is where i found my little one, poor quality and staying that way until i get a beast token. Won't farm that anymore lol, eyes falling out of my head :P

Good luck, hope that helps.

Found and captured a calf at 15.00 server time today. It was walking alone, no Barrens or Dusthoof Giraffe anywhere near it at: 45/59.

I can recommend going through the low level quests in the area to make the time go faster. Good luck to you all :)

I have spent an hour, 2-3 times per day, over the last 3 days flying up and down Southern Barrens and I have not seen a single giraffe... no calves, no adults, nothing. I haven't tried killing things yet, but this is very very frustrating, to say the very least. I've also tried all times of the day and night to no avail.

Spent 3 days trying to find this little guy, finally found one (sadly a grey but I'll take it at this point). Just outside the ruins of Camp Taurajo. It was all by itself, no other giraffes of any kind nearby. It was walking around the siege engineers near the Great Gate area. Happy hunting everyone.

Just caught an uncommon one south of the ruins of Taurajo, only a dust hoof giraffe was nearby. Make sure you have the right level pets as it heals a lot and so is difficult to get low enough without killing. Had only tried to capture this a total of maybe 20 minutes.

I've been going after this for a few days, and today I spent about 2 hours there flying around. My other times around I saw no giraffes at all, this time I found 3 separate packs of Barrens Giraffes at various points on the southern half of the map. One pack patting just north of Desolation Hold, another one across the scar by Fort Triumph and one more pack south between Desolation Hold and Razorfen Kraul. Flew around killing Zhevras, battle pets, Gazelles, tracked the Barrens Giraffes for a while with no luck, finally killed the packs of Giraffes and NEVER saw them respawn. I was about to give up when I saw one lone Giraffe Calf nowhere near where the packs were. (I don't recall exact location, I was too excited.) He was poor quality but I caught him and had a Flawless Beast Battle Stone handy luckily so I used it pretty much immediately. No way I was going back for more. Cute pet though and almost the same height as my Blood Elf :)

There are indeed quite a bit of these after a server restart, and they always walk around with a Giraffe npc. Unlike the impossible-to-find 작은 지옥불정령, these are spread around the zone, so a single person can't swoop them up in a matter of seconds.

I pulled four times in a row and always got an uncommon-quality Giraffe and a rare Frog. Statistically, I think the odds are unlikely this was purely by chance, so it seems that you can only capture uncommon-quality Giraffes.

STRATEGY- If lions are killing the giraffes, kill the lions. I committed Liongeddon for about an hour without seeing a single calf.
STRATEGY - Zhevra/Giraffes share spawn and must be taken out to leave room for 'good' giraffes. I committed girazhevrgeddon for an hour (and patrolling lions, just because)without seeing a single calf.
STRATEGY - Roaming Gazzelles prevent roaming giraffes from spawning. To be thorough, I committed gazellicide every time a herd popped up for about 7 cycles of spawning.
STRATEGY - Other critters are taking the spawn points? I killed adders and prairie dogs till my eyes began to bleed; about 90 minutes.

CONCLUSION - None of this worked. In the end, dumb luck won out.

I found mine in a group of thunder lizard mobs, surrounded by adders and not a giraffe, lion, or zhevra in sight. This was slightly north of Desolation Hold and south of the clearing below Camp T. Earlier that day I had seen one in the extreme northeast corner of the calves' spawn in the Razormane camp by the overgrowth but failed to capture it.

"Time-lost giraffe calf", indeed.

2:30 am (EST) on Ysera my friend offhandedly mentions this rare pet that spawns in the southern barrens while I was leveling up my pets to do the little quest there. Within 2 minutes of looking, I found one. I'd say late at night, very early in the morning when the population is thin and no ones around the area is the best time to be looking.... because an hour later, he got one too.

Or we both just got extremely lucky.

I noticed that when I fly over southern barrens on a flight path that I could see the Giraffes calfs everywhere, however when i would fly to the spots I would see them the would be gone, just seconds after. I realized that that they must be out of phase. so I did all the quests in the area and sure enough I got one with in a min. it was worth the 45 mins of questing the area.

I had a live and learn moment today. I have left a character in this zone to do a run around from time to time (I live in the UK and play on a US server so being on when the USA is asleep is easy for me) but I had been fighting tougher critters elsewhere and burning through the weaker pets from time to time. So this morning I was doing the run around, and as I was doing it I swapped back in some pets that were in need of healing/resurrection. But the button had not refreshed, so I kept on the circuit. And found a calf (just west of Forward Command, for what that's worth).

Naturally, I engaged it, only to find that it was a rare quality... my moment of sick relief was short when I realised I had still not healed my pets. Which means that I had a Brown Rabbit on 69 hit points (albeit a level 11 rabbit, but a rabbit nonetheless) to fight a rare quality calf and an emerald boa.

I didn't win. So, one month into camping, I'm looking at another long stretch. I was about ready to cry until I realised it's just a game :)

The moral is - always keep pets healthy enough to win when camping anything rare, or like me you may miss your chance.

I've been checking the Southern Barrens a few times every day for weeks looking for this bad boy. Never found one, even with killing all the giraffes that spawned. Logged in just as server maintenance was ending, flew to the Southern Barrens and there were 5 of them walking around near each other. Killed two and got a rare and left the others. Definitely worth being online at this time if you really want one. All of them were near desolation hold.

I was passing thru SB cleaning up some old battle quests in my log from and alt. I already had an uncommon giraffe and am working on upgrading all my lesser quality to rares. Found only 1 pack of 3 adult Barrens giraffes along with a calf. Not my usual luck with RNG but it was a rare. I also killed off the adults. Still needed to upgrade my Prairie dog to blue so while doing so I saw another pack spawn with another calf. So apparently killing of adults that have a calf with them will spawn another pack with spawn. Can't say so unequivocally as a sample rate of 1 is not really hard data.

Found one straight away in SB, but then accidentally killed it (and it was a blue)! Been looking now for six more days without seeing another :(

Edit - Saturday 04:17 server time (Magtheridon) and at co-ords 45.41-76.01 got one! It was with the herd of 3 adults, killed them for maybe a respawn as have seen in other posts here. Only an uncommon this time, but happy-ish with that for my Kalimdor Safari achievement.

Re-Edit - Still Saturday, now 04:45 server time. Found another three of these already (one of them blue) all at different co-ords and one was just wandering alone. Seems to me the best thing to do is be here at a time when nobody else is around to take them first, maybe. :)

Found one running with two adults on the north side of Desolation Hold. The adults disappeared after the battle. It was poor, but the first one I saw.

Edit: Found another one with two adults at 44.69 78.42. Poor again though.

Second Edit: Another one close at 46.50 79.85. Uncommon this time, and, of course, I accidentally killed it. So just poor for me today. I did go back for one more circle. The Desolation Hold adults were back, with no calf. And two more adults just south of my last calf sighting, by themselves.

Update: I had logged out in the area, and flew out to where I had seen giraffes before today. A calf with two adults 48.87 81.58. Rare, so I'm done hunting. Good luck.

I can confurm after many killings that they do not appear as a secondary pet. After many flights through Southern Barrens I finally saw one. And once I found one I found 8. Best was uncommon and will be getting a Flawless Battle-stone used on him.

These are quite difficult to capture - prepare a special team before-hand so you can guarantee the capture when you get one! I've killed two already today by accident. (with all low pets on my team)

They can heal about 20% of their health per turn; So it is nearly impossible to get them low enough to capture, but without risking a critical strike killing them (I did this twice). Bring pets with defense/self-healing, and small attacks so that you can crit and not kill it.

My advice after unsuccessfully trying the fly-around-and-look-for-them approach:

Park yourself at 44.5,80.0 (see this map if you're more visual). You'll be within range of the end points of two paths - one family that goes north, and another that goes southeast - which I believe are spawn points, as well the middle of the path for a third family. Set NPCScan or SilverDragon to search for ID 3248 (불모의 땅 기린), clear your cache, turn up the volume, and wait. Scanning for the Calf does not help because it's cached by your Pet Journal when you log in, and and it has no nameplate so SilverDragon can't see it unless you mouse over.

I have not seen a childless group give birth to a new calf (which doesn't mean it can't happen), but I have seen new families spawn with a calf. So, if you see the former, maybe kill them, but not near your camp site, else you have to wait for their bodies to disappear before you can reset your cache again.

Teevo의 댓글

This one was rough.

After a week of searching anywhere from 5-10 times a day, I had only seen a total of 2 calfs (both poor quality). I kept at it and came across 4 of them early this morning, two were by themselves and then there were two side by side: poor, poor, poor, and before I right clicked the last one I decided I needed to try something different to get off this poor quality slump.. so I /pat the calf, and got myself an uncommon version!

Sometimes you just need to show them some love apparently :)

i just got my calf last night, i spent about 30 minutes flying around killing giraffes, zebras and gazelle. im pretty sure this helped me out because eventually a giraffe spawned that had a calf next to it. so my tip would be, as stated in previous posts, to kill at least all the giraffes in the area to help the elusive calf spawn. also, i did not see one spawn on its own, so i assume they spawn next to an adult giraffe. good luck hunting!

Did a couple rounds of following the paths that everyone has been mentioning for about 20 mins, got nothing so I figured I'd kill some of the lvl 1 pets not tagged for pet battle, Zhevras, Elder Zhevras along with the plainstriders. Did that for a good half hour, got bored so I decided to see if any Barrens Giraffes and/or Calf have spawned along the route I did earlier. Found 2 Barrens Giraffes doing a patrol along the route between 47,60 and 46,67. No calf yet, will update soon. P.S. I am on Zangarmarsh server and its about 4:45am server time when I started.

Edit: Decided to go the full round, 18 mins after posting this, found a calf with 3 Barrens Giraffes. Just went after the calf, ignored the adults, was a poor quality, but was totally glad I finally caught the elusive Giraffe Calf!

I was able to do some extensive testing on this pet on a server that at the time had no cross-realm over the course of a few days, allowing me to determine with relatively high confidence how this pet spawn works. Note that I say this is a person who at this time has captured (not upgraded with a stone) a rare version of every battle pet except for 5, so by this point I'm fairly well acquainted with the various spawn mechanics of pets. I only say this because this pet is relatively unique, so I want to give some justification that I'm not just randomly stating what I've observed.

Anyway, this pet does follow a parent-child mechanic with the adult Giraffes, but it's a unique mechanic. Every parent-child pet works in the following way: when a mob spawns, it has a chance to be a "mother". If it is a mother spawn, it will spawn a child roughly every 10 minute. If you kill a non-mother spawn (indicated by not having a child), it has a chance to respawn as a mother or non-mother; but if you kill the mother, it too has a chance to respawn as a mother or non-mother. Children will follow the mother wherever they go, and if the mother is killed, they will simply despawn after a certain amount of time (roughly 5 minutes). This of course only applies to the limited number of pets that follow the mother-child relationship.

The Giraffe Calf only follows half of these mechanics. It will still follow the mother around and will despawn after a certain time if the mother dies. Even without players killing the mothers, lions occasionally does this, so you sometimes see lone Giraffe Calves near the west gate where lions are common. However, Giraffe Calves ONLY spawn when the Giraffes themselves spawn; if you attack the pet and do not kill the mother, new Giraffe Calves will not spawn. The spawn rate of a Giraffe Calf seems to be relatively high per pack; I'm not completely sure yet if every Giraffe Calf in the pack has a chance to spawn a pet, or if the pack as a whole has a chance, but regardless, I'd say at least half the time, the pack will spawn with one or more Calves (I've never seen more than 2, leading me to believe it's a pack-based chance).

When you see a Giraffe, kill it after pulling any pets; this will allow the Giraffe to respawn. If you don't kill it, it won't respawn and you won't get new pets. One note however. Pet collectors are likely used to killing enough pets in the zone forcing respawns. The Giraffe mothers do not work like this; they seem to respawn zone-wide at certain intervals as far as I can tell, or at a minimum, it's not a fixed spawn time. The reason I say this is that many times I killed a Giraffe only to found it had respawned 5 minutes later, and other times it took an hour to spawn. Either way, for those wondering, I'd say on average it takes about half an hour for the Giraffes to respawn, but this is random, so you shouldn't necessarily set your watch to it.

Like many Pandaria pets, Giraffes Calves follow "pack" rules. That means that, for example, if you see a pack of Giraffes and there are two Calves, both of the pulls will be identical. That is, each Calf in the pack will pull as a Calf of the same rarity, the same single secondary pet, and the secondary pet having the same rarity. Thus, if you're farming rares, you can save a few seconds when you find 2 Calves in a pull by simply killing the other one along with the pack if you've already seen the first one doesn't have a rare; the second one will be the same.

An interesting quirk is that a server restart forces all Giraffes to respawn, so the zone becomes flooded with Giraffe Calves. Unlike 스컬지 새끼용 and 작은 지옥불정령, these pets are spread over a large area, so if you're already in Southern Barrens when the restart ends, you should be able to get one before someone can farm all the Calves in the zone (since it will take them a good ten minutes or so to check the whole zone). An interesting quirk to this; after a server restart, for some reason, the entire set of Calf spawns follows pack rules. That is, every single Calf in the zone will be an identical pull, a phenomenon I've never noticed (yet) with any other pet. I've yet to confirm if this same sort of "zone-wide" pack respawn can occur other than after a restart; it's hard to tell as if only a few Giraffes respawn at a time, you might see the same primary and secondary spawn, but if they're on other sides of the zone when this happens, it's nearly impossible to tell if this is just luck or an actual mechanic.

So far all of these comments have been about finding and capturing this elusive pet. Now for a word on it as a battle pet: this long-necked bastard is TOUGH! How tough? I took mine out to Pandaria at level 17, and it was SOLOING trios of level 24 critters in the Valley of Four Winds. Needless to say, he levels quickly; and if your short on healers for your group it can fill in nicely at level 20 by arranging it's abilities accordingly. Definately a great addition to your collection.

I just caught my rare giraffe calf. It seems like the others are correct. There are numerous spawns of this rare battle pet after a server restart. I went out searching right after the server restart on Blackhand. The first time I saw the calf it was by itself and the second time it was walking around with some Barrens giraffes. If you are looking for this rare battle pet, just keep at it and good luck.

I trapped a poor one just now 8:30PM between the Ruins of Taurajo and the Great Gate - wandering by itself - no adults around... I've been looking for weeks, gave up and was looking for gazelles tonight and VOILA! Super happy (even with a poor!)

Anyone had luck lately getting the calf? I had been searching for weeks! and even waited until right after the server restarts tuesday mornings to try and see if i can see even ONE, i dont care about the quality, i just want the Kalimdor Safari Cheevo!

Out pet hunting and get to the Southern Barrens. Giraffe Calf is on my list of needed pets so I start combing the area. Boom, 3 minutes into the search, there's a GC. Without thinking I pop into battle and realize that I hadn't swapped my pets so I'm about to fight a level 10 with three level 3s, not good. I forfeit the match because there's no way to win and as I'm swapping my pets around another player swoops in and snatches the spawn.

Lesson learned: be freaking prepared.

This was what worked for me.
I flew around until I found Barrens Giraffes, I killed them.
I also killed any Dusthoof Giraffes, despite whether or not they affect spawn. I kept left clicking critters and battle pets and killing them with a spell. (Not battling them).

It took me two hours, but then three Barrens Giraffes had spawned with two Giraffe Calfs. I captured the first one which was 'common' but left the other.

My girlfriend did a similar thing, she would find Barrens Giraffes, kill one, follow them around, kill surrounding critters and finally she captured a green Giraffe Calf. It took her three hours. She also killed Gazelles, but I did not.

Not sure if these are strategies but it's what worked for us!
Expect to spend some time on safari.

Anger does not describe the feeling I get when finally finding a Giraffe Calf only to have the second battle pet come out and wipe out my team because game mechanics decided 70% of my attacks were going to miss. No anger would be a poor term. For I lost my Giraffe Calf on a poor circumstance I would describe this feeling as unbridled rage comparable only to a Dwarf star angrily kicking a puppy.

I got pretty lucky tonight around 3:45am CST found this beautiful common quality creature with a group of adults. No one else was in the zone at the time but I had seen them as I was flying over to another zone and came back asap!

ok, i found mine just now at 2pm (PST)
i found about 5. i killed only one, a poor quality.
with each group of Barrens Giraffes was 1.

another day i was killing all the Barrens Giraffes i
have seen, but no Giraffe calf was spawn.
and today just flying around I have seen almost with all the groups of
Barrens Giraffes 1 calf. so maybe is connected to some specific time ?
anyway,... good hunting

Flew around the zone for about 3 hours before deciding to start killing giraffe packs. I killed two packs and flew down south, saw my first giraffe calf. Entered battle and it was a RARE! I almost peed my pants. It was level 10. Then my stupid pet that was three levels lower crit the giraffe and killed it. I nearly cried. I can't decide if I want to spend the weekend camping for another or just give up. I've come up against this in battle and it's TOUGH. It heals like crazy. I did invest in a Terrible Turnip so I hope this won't happen again in the future.

For those interested it spawned near Bael Modan on the east side of the road with a pack of three Barrens Giraffes.

Ok. Here is what I have. I initially located a trio of Barrens Giraffes patrolling near Bael Modan (around 49.00, 80.00) with a giraffe calf. This was the first calf I had seen after three consecutive hours of killing every type of giraffe, zhevra, plainstrider, lion all over the Southern Barrens map. And the calf was a rare. Unfortunately my pet crit the calf and killed it. *sigh* I cannot stress enough to be PREPARED.

I stayed in the Southern Barrens for eight more consecutive hours (only left the computer for about 4 minutes for a bathroom break) flying, killing and didn't see another giraffe calf spawn for a very long time. At that time, two giraffe calves spawned with DUSTHOOF giraffes just outside of the great gate. Both were poor quality. I lost the first battle and the trapped calf was lost (rare emerald boa as the secondary). I captured the second poor quality calf. Now, I stayed just outside of the great gate and saw two more calves spawn within 15 minutes also with Dusthoof giraffes. Both were poor quality. I have since seen multiple Dusthoof Giraffes spawn outside of The Great Gate. I have killed them and seen zhevras and lions spawn in their place.

As far as my experience they DO spawn with the Dusthoof Giraffes but others have claimed that they do not.

I hope this helps someone. This was about 7:30-8:30am server time.

All of you who have spent hours upon hours farming for this pet just for the achievement OR for a rare of this and don't like having to farm/camp for it then do yourself a favor and go make a death knight on the Brazilian realm "Gallywix" and go get your giraffe calf. I did this and farmed my rare.

Every hour there would be 5-10 (either five singles, five sets of twins, or a variation) giraffe calves up at one time. I'd cycle through each spawn location and check for my rare, kill the calves that weren't rare and all Barrens giraffes, rinse and repeat. I never encountered anyone else in the zone looking for a giraffe calf. I only encountered one other person altogether...a lowbie horde questing there.

It took an hour and a half for me to roll my DK, quest it out of the starting area, and have it sitting in Southern Barrens. The first time I looked for a giraffe calf on my own realm it was four hours before I saw my first spawn (which happened to be a rare...and my pet crit and killed it *sigh*).

For the quickest method I recommend making a Horde DK so that once you do your last DK quest in Orgrimmar then you will already be in Kalimdor and have a very short flight to the Southern Barrens. I made a human without thinking and had to jump through a few hoops to get to the Southern Barrens...more time wasted.

I also recommend doing this for harder to find pets like the Minfernal. When I got my Minfernal there were four other Minfernals up at the time.

Thanks to all the posters for their info about this cute but frustrating little guy. I got up this morning with my cuppa coffee and settled down for a long spawn hunt for Giraffe's and their babies. I make my target macro ready on my spam 1 key and start flying... 1min later omfg a calf lights up! so I drop down and engage the little pita and its a RARE! took a long time to whittle his HP down because i was freaking out that my level 8 Rare Harpy was going to pwn this lvl9 Girrafe baby and I would be devastated but finally the capture lit up and FIRST THROW I caught it. So now I have all this free time available and am totally stoked because as a general rule, if people are saying they hunted for 2hrs for an item, I have to hunt 4 before mine drops. I am the Queen of Bad Luck.. but not today! :) Hiphip!

If you Find a calf with its Herd then retreat from the fight it will amusingly run at full speed back to its still moving family no mater how far it is from them. Quite funny to run with it as it attempts to catch up with them.

I've heard people say the rare quality giraffe doesn't spawn, even though Wowhead says it's possible. Yesterday I was incredibly fortunate enough to have it spawn for me between The Overgrowth and Desolation Point. I couldn't believe it when I saw the icon rimmed in blue.

Just wanted to dispel this rumor and encourage everyone to be patient (and considerate, please) -- if it happened for me with my crummy luck, it can happen for you!

(Edited for clarity.)

Caught an uncommon calf at 44, 43 - it was standing with a single Dusthoof Giraffe. It wasn't wandering or with a pack. Waited 20 mins, calf did not re-spawn with the Dusthoof Giraffe.

Hylem23의 댓글

For those who are hunting for a rare version you can easily throw on some pets you don't use for your main team enter a battle with one of the calfs and then retreat. you'll be able to see the calfs rarity and it will spawn back soon after exiting combat with the same pets it had on backup and it will have the same rarity so if it's not a rare you can keep on moving and since your not using your main pets the retreat cost doesn't effect you so once you find your rare calf you can retreat throw on your main pets and capture your rare calf. Its easy and your not killing them for people who just want one for Zookeeper.

Just looking around "N" letter in "Desolation Hold" name in southern barrens... Find a pair of Barrens Girrafe (its only one pair of them in all southern barrens I find) and check, if they roam with calf. If not, kill them and watch again "N" letter for respawn... 10 minutes max and you will be proud owner of Giraffe Calf... :D GL.

I went hunting today for the Giraffe calf. I hit all the hotspots along the Southern Barrens road, along the hills and on the other side of the rift. I did see three of the Barrens Giraffe's running and followed them awhile, but still didn't find any calf. I decided to just kill them and then went over to the Marsh to fight the battle pet master and come back to see if they did a respawn.

Probably 45 min later I came back, followed the route again and found a lone giraffe calf along the hills near those Pridemane lions sleeping around the tree. The calf was grey and it had a second petr join it. A blue emerald boa, I kept the giraffe even though it is grey, like the other poster I'll see if I can get a better one later, but these are too rare to just let go. ;)

Edited to add: This is right near the forward command. I saw a dusthoof giraffe, but haven't seen the group of Barren Giraffe's yet.

5pm Realm Time.

I found mine in front of the Great Gate, 41,52 with three adults.
It is poor quality but after searching for hours I don't care, lol.

Silvansaria의 댓글

Flew into the zone - looked around for the paw on the minimap and found 2 Giraffe Calfs back to back - but they were poor quality of course :/ I didn't see any after that even after flying around the whole zone 3 times...

In my experience - killing the giraffes without the calf spawns the possiblity of a combo pack. Doing nothing but searching does not effect the spawn table at all - so you have to do be aggressive about making them spawn and start killing the place holders...

I know it works because I've tried this on multiple mobs all over the world and I always get my rare...

Captured a Giraffe Calf northeast of the great gate. Took about 12 hours. At first I was killing the Barrens Giraffes. Took forever for them to respond. Never saw any babies. I read the comments some more, and stopped killing the adults. I followed a pair of adults for about 30 minutes, but they never spawned a baby. I then ran around Southern Barrens for about 15 minutes and found one. I killed lots of zebras, plain striders, and gazelles. Don't think that made any difference. Another thing I noticed was that I would spot markers for baby giraffes while using the flight paths, but would never find any when I went back to the spot.

I found one just south of the Ruins of Taurajo. It was an uncommon and I only looked for a few minutes before I spotted him. He was hanging out with Adders, Stormsnouts and Prairie Dogs.

I finally found one of these Giraffe Calves at 49.66,51.81. I'm not implying you will find yours there. I followed every piece of advice on killing certain giraffes, where to go, etc. I've finally come to the conclusion that is totally random. Nothing I did had anything to do with where I finally found it. I realize this won't be a popular post, lol, but I really believe it's the truth. Good luck to you all!

I cannot say it enough: go to an empty realm to catch the rare battle pets. I got this and a Minfernal on Vashj both within 10 minutes of deciding "hey as long as I'm grouped with a friend on this empty server, I ought to go look for battle pets" (and most of the time was spent traveling or battling, not searching).

sailoranchored93의 댓글

Finally found mine after weeks of searching. It was right by the gate that leads to Thunder Bluff. It is common quality, but since it is the only one I have seen in weeks, I snatched it. I flew around and looked for some others in case I could catch a rare, but it didn't happen. But that's what Battle-Stones are for. (; It is 1am server time on Mal'Ganis. My advice is to either wait until really late at night or early in the morning or hop over to a dead server. Other than that, you're in for the long haul. Good luck and happy battling.

Found two with parents just west of Bael Modan in Southern Barrens. You really can't be picky with the rarities of them. They're hard to find.

geekygirlish의 댓글

As breeds go, they only have two and both are pretty poor. Don't think it will make a very good battle pet. So don't be too fussy about what quality you get with these. Just grab one to get it, and count towards the achievement.

I suspect these are a bit like the bear cubs and diemetrodons, etc. They spawn around a parent. I've only ever seen two, one was already being captured with mom standing by and the second that I grabbed, spawned behind mom right by forward command. Luckily I was there.

Killing other battle pets like the copious prairie dogs and adders like I was doing might help generate a spawn, but I am not convinced killing the adult giraffes will actually improve your chances.

As others have said, the key is to kill other pets in the zone so that Giraffe Calf can spawn. I found the Forward Command area (50, 50) to be a great place to camp because a ton of pets spawn all around it. I simply killed pets in that area for about 10 minutes until this guy spawned.

I've hunted this for months. I've tried everything listed in the comments. This time I changed my tactic. It was not after any server reset, what I did was make a simple macro to target Giraffe Calf while flying over I spammed the macro button. At loc 43, 54 I got a hit. Two were walking side-by-side. I nabbed the first one with my Terrible Turnip which was poor quality. Yes, I was an ass and took the second one too. It was uncommon. I'm still one away from the achievement though.

I am on a medium population server with fairly active CRZ. However, just north of Bael Modan at 48, 81 at 1:40 AM on Sunday morning I was able to locate a Giraffe Calf and successfully capture it. Perhaps it helped that this was during a holiday (Midsummer Festival), and other achievement/pet hunters were congregating in cities instead of searching for pets. Regardless, I wanted to throw the coordinates out there because I roamed all over Southern Barrens and this was the only Giraffe Calf I found. Perhaps this will help someone else find theirs.

Can someone please explain where you're seeing these stupid giraffes?
I have been flying around the southern barrens for hours on two different servers and i can't find a single giraffe (barrens or dusthoof) and I cannot find even a single gazelle which are supposed to share spawns either. No giraffes or gazelles means no pet.

this site specifically lists barrens giraffes as being in the northern barrens which is a trip up too.

I just got mine - was the first I've seen in probably 5+ hours of going around there and I dont care about its quality.

I think the zebras and giraffes share spawn points and was killing all that I saw. Oddly enough, I don't think this helped because when I was flying away from one spawn location, I happened to look at my map and saw the calf disappearing behind me. Where it spawned was near a normal spawn point (south of ruins of camp t) but was just walking with its parent in a path I hadn't seen before. I can't believe that I just randomly looked at my map and then spammed my macro, swooped in and got that sucker. That I got it or where is pretty immaterial but that it was not in one of the normal giraffe spawn points is pretty important IMO.

I suspect that it spawns with normal spawn points or at other random points near there with its parents. I highly advise spamming a macro and also just checking the pets in the map. I don't know if the killing of all the others worked as it was not in a place where I had ever seen one. I guess it's therapeutic and from other posts here where it was just standing there with the normal spawn (and from the map of catches) maybe not totally worthless. Were I a betting person, I would probably say that this spawn is unrelated to normal giraffe spawns and can pop up anywhere where the giraffe roam.

I just used a /tar giraffe macro...

Good luck all :)

Just got mine today. I have been looking and had only seen 2 giraffe total, and no herds. I had almost given up and was just flying around randomly and there they were! A whole herd of giraffe plus a baby. Poor quality but I don't care.

Located at 42, 40, just slightly north of Vendetta Point.

Good luck everyone!

I found a poor quality one just north of Bael Modan and accidentally killed it... After flying up and down Southern Barrens for the next 4 hours, spamming /tar Giraffe macro, I finally found another one at 43,55 - an uncommon, too! I know I wasn't the only one looking for it, since I saw other people flying up and down about the same path as me, and I kept coming across corpses of giraffes (so someone was trying to trigger the spawn). I'm pretty certain it didn't make any difference, nor did battling other pets in the area.

I sit alone on this giant thorn.
All I can do is quietly mourn.
I've toiled day and night - you'll probably laugh
Looking for my very own Giraffe Calf.

You see I've been east and I've been west.
I've longed for the day when I can rest.
I'm starting to wonder - do they really exist?
Then I see the mommy's - how could I have missed!

So my journey will proceed
Until I have the pet I need
The calf will be rare, and he'll think I'm a square
But I won't care... we'll finally be a pair!

Just came across a giraffe calf just north of Bael Modan :-) Rare as well. I'm working on my Kalimdor Safari achievement, and the giraffe calf was one of the last few ones I need. First capturable pet that came up on my map as I flew from Dustwallow Marsh and into Southern Barrens, just north of Bael Modan, a few steps away from the road leading down into Dustwallow Marsh. It was following a single grown giraffe around. Happy hunting!

The centaurs over-hunted giraffes for decades, but the taurens saved them from extinction. Then came the players and people wonder why these are so rare xD

Nah but seriously these haven't been a rare sight for years. Finding it odd that people are claiming them to be rare. Most likely their realms are just full of pet poachers and killers.
