Giraffes, with their exceptionally long legs, are by far the tallest mammals on earth. Do you know how tall a newly born giraffe is? Males are known to grow up to 11 ft, 6 inches (3.5m) at shoulder-height and 18 ft (5.5m) tall to the top of it’s head. They can also weigh as much as 3,000 lb (1,365 kg). A baby giraffe is called a calf. Average weight at birth is about 110 pounds and height – over 6 feet tall. Stands up, unsupported, within a short time after birth. You can see the first moments of a giraffe’s life :) Enjoy :)
