The average for a giraffe's neck is about 6 feet long and about 200 lbs. Some giraffes' necks have grown to nearly 10 feet.
In addition, a female giraffe is a cow while a male is a bull. A calf is born weighing 100 to 150 pounds and measuring in at 6 feet tall. The average gestation period for a giraffe is 15 months or 453-464 days. In the wild, the average lifespan of a giraffe is 10-15 years. In human care, they've been known to live longer, 20-27 years on average. Giraffes give birth while standing up so a calf enters the world from quite a height. They fall 6 feet to the ground with hooves and head first.
