A "bumpy" giraffe covered in huge lumps at a national park in Africa may be infected with a virus that rarely affects these tall animals, experts say.

Photos of the giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis), captured by wildlife photographer Marius Nortje in Kruger National Park, South Africa, show growths on the animal's face, neck and torso.
