Male or female?

Both male and female giraffes have horns, but the top of the horns on a male are always bald while a female's horn will be completely covered by hair. This is because males establish dominance by fighting with other males and the hair on the top of the horns gets torn off. Females don't fight, so they never lose hair on the horns.
I think this is a female.

Wow, some great info right there!
