Other carnivores can prey on giraffes such as lions,
cheetahs, or wild dogs. All giraffes live with their family or group. And they
find their food only in group form. If a carnivorous animal attacks one of
these giraffes, they gather around it and try to save it. All giraffes are good
companions of each other and they nurture and protect their babies well. All

repel insects. The Giraffe runs not very fast.
Giraffes have long, thick hair on their bodies. Dark red and
brown hairs tend to be black as the giraffe ages. When a giraffe stands by a
tree or bush, it is difficult to see. It can stand alone and look into the
distance. In this way, giraffes estimate their danger from a great distance and

Habits & Feeding
of Giraffe
Giraffes live in open, plain, brushy, wooded, and large
forests. Trees and shrubs provide calcium and protein to giraffes, which are
vital to giraffe life. The giraffe derives its food from fruits, bushes, and
tree branches. The giraffe also eats the softwood of the trees.
In wet weather, giraffe eats too much food and gets fat. While in dry weather like summer, giraffe does not eat much food. A female giraffe takes her baby outdoors to be fed. Due to this, the hunters can easily guess her children. The giraffe collects its food by chewing it well and then swallows it. The giraffe easily collects food inside its neck. The giraffe accumulates food inside its neck so that it does not have to work hard when it is hungry later. The giraffe can easily digest its accumulated food. Giraffes are great for growing trees. Because it eats only the upper branches of the tree, it increases the growth of the tree.
