BioExpedition explains that giraffes reproduce through mating. Male giraffes are typically ready to mate when they are 6 years old, although more mature bulls often mate first before the younger ones. Female giraffes are ready to mate when they are around 4 years old.
The breeding season in giraffes can occur at any time during the year. The mating season tends to peak around the dry season at which time female giraffes are able to conceive when they turn around five years old.
Giraffes have a gestation period of 15 months, which means female giraffes give birth to giraffe baby about 15 months after mating with the male giraffe. As giraffes are non-territorial, any male giraffe can mate with receptive female giraffes, but there is a process of ritual combat between the male giraffes to win over the female giraffe.
