The Masai giraffe is the tallest animal in the world. They have elongated necks, shoulders and skulls, steeply sloping backs and long stick-like legs with large heavy feet and a long thin tail with a tuft of long thick hairs, useful to flick off the flies. Their bodies are covered with a thick hide. Giraffes are found throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Masai giraffes are found in the southern half of Kenya and Tanzania.They prefer dry, open savannas and open woodlands, avoiding the closed canopy forest. Located here at the Toronto Zoo, Ontario Canada
