First of all, a masai giraffe has spots that look like sunrays (dark brown). While, the reticulated giraffe's spots are kid of hexagon shaped(a brighter brown). Other than that, they're basicly just different breeds.

Which animals are the big?

Did you mean the biggest? And on land, my top five would be the Reticulated Giraffe, the African Bush Elephant, the Masai Giraffe, and the Asian Elephant. In water the largest is definitely the Blue Whale. The next four may be inaccurate, so here goes- Sperm Whale, Sei Whale, Greenland Right Whale, and one of the most popular, the Humpback Whale.
