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.
The height of a giraffe ranges from 14 to 17 feet or 4.3 to 5.2 meters. Male giraffes weigh about 2,830 pounds or 1,191 kilograms. Female giraffes are about 800 pounds lighter at 1,830 pounds or 828 kilograms. The tallest giraffe ever measured was a male giraffe that stood 20 feet tall, or almost 6 meters high. She is about 550 to 1,180 kilograms heavy, or 1,200 to 2,600 pounds. The giraffe coat is a pattern of medium brown patches of hair surrounded by a lighter color.
