To print this group, add it to a test. When it comes to height, the giraffe is likely the tallest animal at any zoo. Most giraffes grow to be 14-18 feet tall. Male giraffes are bigger than female giraffes, but both are tall. Even baby giraffes are around 6 feet tall when they are born. Giraffes are known for two things: their spots and their necks. Giraffes have patterns of brown spots on their bodies. Like human fingerprints, no giraffe has the same pattern of spots.
Fully grown giraffes stand 4.3â5.7 m (14.1â18.7 ft) tall, with males taller than females. The tallest recorded male was 5.88 m (19.3 ft) and the tallest recorded female was 5.17 m (17.0 ft) tall. The average weight is 1,192 kg (2,628 lb) for an adult male and 828 kg (1,825 lb) for an adult female.
