Choka

Choka is a male Masai giraffe calf and a member of the herd of giraffes that consists of females and their young living close to the Imeatuka Desert.

Appearance
Choka is a sturdily built giraffe, with a long, thick neck and wide legs. However, much of his bulkiness is caused by corpulence, as he is not very strong. He has a smooth back and unpronounced shoulders. His tail is quite long, with a tiny, smooth tuft of black at the end, while his semi-round ears are rather small. His short, pale, creamy tan coat is spotted like that of all giraffes, dappled with small warm brown spots that are close together. The dots on his legs pale to soft ginger. An area of lighter fur stretches from his underside to his lower jaw. He has a tawny brown nose and a dark stripe running down his face. His black ossicones are very short and fuzzy, each one located quite near the other. A wispy bright orange mane grows on the top of his neck. He has green eyes with light yellow sclerae.

Personality
Choka is a rather whiny giraffe, always complaining about one thing or another. He becomes quite annoyed when ignored, causing him to pine even more. He cares only about himself and his own well-being; no other giraffe means much to him. He is under the impression that he is superior to the other giraffes in the herd. He frequently cracks bad jokes and laughs at them himself, growing irritated when no one else shares his weak sense of humor. He is well-known among the calves for being a huge telltale, running to fetch one of the adults every time he is left out of something or not given the amount of attention that he firmly believes he deserves. Being left to his own devices for even a short time is, in his mind, unacceptable. He is extremely immature, in no way ready to leave his mother's herd and join the bachelor herd nearby.

Early Life
Choka was born into the herd he currently resides in, healthy as can be.
