what is the name of the giraffe from madagascar
List of Madagascar (franchise) characters Melman Mankiewicz (Giacomo Manica) is a male reticulated giraffe. He has a furry coat, whiskers, a snout, a long neck, brown spots, horns, and a tufted tail. He is somewhat of a hypochondriac, having doses of medicine for meals and doctor's appointments frequently. He even complains about having brown spots on his neck (the spots, in real life, are natural).
