1826年，埃及的穆罕默德·阿里从现在苏丹共和国的某个地方送给法国国王查理十世一只长颈鹿。作为第一只到达法国的长颈鹿，她来到法国时，公共博物馆和动物园正在兴起，激发了学术界和大众对科学和法国边境以外世界的兴趣。本文研究的职业生涯和“来世”，这长颈鹿在法国和相对于长颈鹿在苏丹大，为了追溯法国-苏丹的历史，从十九世纪初一直延伸到现在。与此同时，在2011年南苏丹分离之后，当殖民地和国家边界出现偶然性和变化时，这段相互关联的历史，本文将苏丹视为全球移民网络中的一个区域（而不是一个固定的国家），涉及人，其他动物，事物和思想。
In 1826, Mehmet Ali of Egypt sent a giraffe from somewhere in what is now the Republic of the Sudan to King Charles X of France. The first live giraffe ever to reach France, she arrived when public museums and zoos were emerging, inspiring scholarly and popular interest in science and the world beyond French borders. This article studies the career and “afterlives” of this giraffe in France and relative to giraffes at large in the Sudan, in order to trace a Franco-Sudanese history that has stretched from the early nineteenth century to the present. At the same time, viewing this connected history in the aftermath of the 2011 secession of South Sudan, when colonial and national borders appear contingent and subject to change, this article approaches the Sudan as a zone (as opposed to a fixed country) within global networks of migration involving people, other animals, things, and ideas.
