Twenty minutes earlier, the settlers had begun taking poison back in Jonestown. The 900-some poisonings became the story, understandably, and the deaths of Leo Ryan and the other shooting victims were overshadowed.
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.
Giraffes live mostly in eastern sub-Saharan Africa, while certain populations also live in the western and southern parts of the continent. Giraffes live in both open savanna areas and wooded grasslands. Adult males stand 15-18 feet (4.6-5.5 m) tall, whereas females are shorter at 13-16 feet (4-4.8 m) tall. Adult males weigh between 1,764-4,255 pounds (800-,930 kg), while females weigh only 1,213-2,601 pounds (550-1,180 kg). Giraffes live for 10-15 years in the wild, but average 25 years at zoos.
