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.
Much of the giraffes height is in its long neck, which can be about 6-8 feet long and its long legs. There is a difference in height between the male and female giraffes. Males are normally taller and are about 16 to 18 feet tall. Females usually range from 14 to 16 feet tall. Many zoos have a height chart in their giraffe houses which allows the public to see how tall a giraffe is as it walks by.
