Giraffe skeleton on display at the Museum of Osteology, Oklahoma City. Fully grown giraffes stand 4.3–5.7 m (14–19 ft) tall, with males taller than females. [45] The average weight is 1,192 kg (2,628 lb) for an adult male and 828 kg (1,825 lb) for an adult female. [46] Despite its long neck and legs, its body is relatively short.
A bar scale would also normally appear on the drawing. Colon may also be substituted with a specific, slightly raised ratio symbol U+2236 ∶ RATIO (∶), ie. "1∶100". Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man illustrates the ratios of the dimensions of the human body; a human figure is often used to illustrate the scale of architectural or engineering ...
Giraffes feed on leaves, stems, flowers and fruits, so human population growth and habitat loss can hurt the species. Instances of drought have also led to increased human-wildlife conflicts.

The general shape or figure of a person is defined mainly by the molding of skeletal structures, as well as the distribution of muscles and fat.

Ape index, ape factor, [1] or gorilla index is slang or jargon used to describe a measure of the ratio of an individual's arm span relative to their height.
