SCIENTIFIC NAME Giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchi
RANGE Masai giraffes live in Tanzania and southern Kenya. (other giraffe varieties are found other places in Africa.)
LOCATION IN THE ZOO African Forest
COOL ANIMAL FACT Giraffe ‘horns’ aren’t actually horns at all – they are called ossicones, which are formed by cartilage and covered in skin. When babies are born, their ossicones don’t quite stand up all the way – they start standing up straight as they grow.
