Giraffes are the world's tallest animals, some males having a height of 6 meters and weigh up to 1,900 kg.
Males reach a towering 19 feet tall and weigh between 2400 and 4250 pounds. Females measure up to 17 feet tall and weigh between 1540 and 2600 pounds. A lot of this height and weight is because of the giraffe's incredibly long neck, which can be 8 feet in length and can weigh almost 500 pounds.

How do giraffes survive through tornadoes?
Tornadoes are not a very serious threat in regions where giraffes live. If and when a tornado does occur its chances of impacting any individual animal are very small.

That said it is unlikely that a giraffe could survive a direct hit from a tornado without injury.
