Did you know?
•The Giraffe is the tallest land animal and the tallest living mammal.
• Despite its long neck, the giraffe has only seven vertebrae, exactly the same number as man and most other mammals.
• Giraffes have a small hump on their backs and they have a spotted pattern similar to that of a leopard. So the people thought the giraffe was a cross between a camel and a leopard, a mistake immortalized in the giraffe's scientific name of Giraffa camelopardalis.

RE:
what is the height of the tallest giraffe ever measured?

Around 19 feet (5.85 m). I've found two sources mentioning slightly different height.
1) The tallest specimen ever recorded was a 5.8 METRE male named George, who was received at Chester Zoo, UK, in 1959. George was originally from Kenya. On average, mature giraffe males grow to a height of around 5.5m.

2) The record-sized bull was 5.87 METRE (19.2 FEET) tall and weighed approximately 2,000 kg (4,400 lbs.).
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giraffe)
Both records are for the males then. Female giraffes are generally slightly shorter and weigh less than the males do.
