The West African giraffe is a subspecies of giraffe, distinguished from other types by its light, tan-colored spots. Other giraffes have darker markings. It stands between 16 and 19 ft. tall, and can weigh up to 2,800 lbs. Males have thicker horns than females, and are taller. Males often fight for leadership as well as mating rights.
