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 average height of a giraffe differs between male and female. Male giraffes (or âbullsâ) can be up to 18 feet (5.5 meters) tall, with a shoulder height of 11 feet (3.3 meters). Female giraffes (or âcowsâ) can be up to 14 feet (4.3 meters) tall, with a shoulder height of 9 feet (2.8 meters). Even baby giraffes are huge, a whopping six feet tall at birth.
