Description
The Masai giraffe, also spelled Maasai giraffe, or the Kilimanjaro giraffe (Giraffa Camelopardalis tippelskirchi), is the largest subspecies of giraffe and the tallest land mammal. It is found in Kenya and Tanzania. The Masai giraffe has jagged spots on its body. It also has a short tassel of hair on its tail. The bony outgrowths of the male's skull superficially provide the appearance of up to five ossicones. The dominant male's spots tend to be darker in color than those of other members of its herd.
