What animal eats giraffes in a desert?

No animal eats giraffes in the desert because giraffes do not live in the desert. Giraffes are creatures of the savanna, grassland and open woodlands where there are more trees and other plants upon which they feed. Lions and leopards and, possibly, hyenas might be able to take down a small giraffe or one that is weakened by age, disease or injury. Because of their size, eyesight and powerful kicks, adult giraffes are usually not subject to predation. Nile crocodiles also will occasionally take down an animal when it lowers its head to drink.

What does giraffes prey upon?

A giraffe's predators are animals like lions, spotted hyenas, leopards and crocodiles, who will all take giraffe calves when the opportunity arises. Adult giraffes are very large animals, and the only predators capable of taking them on are lions. By working together, they are able to kill adult giraffes, but this is not very common - a giraffe's kick can kill a lion, and they usually prefer to hunt less dangerous prey.
