Here's why:
* Average Weight: Horses can range from 800 to 2,000 pounds, while giraffes typically weigh between 1,750 and 2,800 pounds.
* Individual Variation: While giraffes are generally taller, there's a significant overlap in weight ranges. Some horse breeds can be incredibly large, while smaller giraffes can weigh less than some larger horse breeds.
So, while giraffes are taller, horses can sometimes be heavier.
