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.
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.
