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.
Is this the world's tallest giraffe? At more than 19ft tall, lanky Zulu is 4ft higher than average and may be the loftiest of the species on record. Zulu lives at Folly Farm zoo in Saundersfoot and Tenby, Pembrokeshire. At over 19 feet tall, lanky Zulu is some four feet taller than average giraffe. He towers over three other male giraffes he shares his enclosure with. Tallest giraffe on record was London Zoo's George who measured at 19ft 3.
