In the Madagascar movies, Melman, the giraffe, is typically depicted as being around 18 feet (5.5 meters) tall when fully extended, which is roughly the height of a real-life giraffe. His height is a significant part of his character, especially since it often leads to humorous situations due to his awkwardness and anxiety.
Melman is voiced by David Schwimmer, and his height, along with his distinct personality, makes him a memorable character in the Madagascar franchise.
