Giraffes don’t have horns they have ossicones. Official records do not classify giraffes as trophy animals because they lack true keratin horns. Both males and females have fixed ossicones of fully developed bones that are growing from the frontal plate of the skull, which is covered with epidermal skin. The ossicones sometimes break during fierce bullfighting, but unlike real horns, they do not grow back.
