The giraffe family at the Houston Zoo includes eight Masai giraffes. Giraffes are the tallest living terrestrial animal - the average male is about 17 feet tall and can weigh 3,000 pounds, while an average female is over 14 feet tall. While Masai giraffes are not endangered in their native habitat, there are less than 100 of them in North American zoos.
