   girafa, from Ar. zur[=a]fa, zar[=a]fa.] (Zool.)
   An African ruminant (Giraffa camelopardalis formerly

   sometimes twenty feet from the hoofs to the top of the head.

   its hind legs. There are three types, having different
   patterns of spots on the pelt and different territories: the
   Reticulated Giraffe, the Masai Giraffe, and the Uganda
   Giraffe. Intermediate crosses are also observed.
