Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery
Exeter, United Kingdom
Gerald is one of RAMM's most iconic specimens, standing in the galleries since the 1920s. In 1901, he encountered big game hunter Charles Victor Alexander Peel at Moshi, Tanzania. Using a laser he measures 5.05m hooves to horns (known as ossicones) and 4.94m hooves to the top of his head.
Here, Gerald the Giraffe is standing in the gallery. This space is now the RAMM cafe.
