"While in Egypt, in 1436, Ciriaco [d'Anconna] saw a giraffe, and the

Maybe he had seen Domenico Ghirlandaio's fresco in the Tornabuoni
Chapel in Florence?
"The Adoration of the Magi by Domenico Ghirlandaio, part of a cycle in
the Tornabuoni Chapel was painted just after the arrival of the Medici
giraffe and shows the animal descending a hill on the right-hand side."
