Due to their sheer size, adult Giraffe's are not vulnerable to predators like leopards, hyenas, wild dogs etc. However, large lion packs headed by large Adult Male lions have been known to hunt down a full grown giraffe. But, this is very rare. On the other hand, calf's are very vulnerable to predators. A lion pack can easily kill a giraffe calf or even an adolescent. Hyena and wild doc packs too are known to prey on giraffe calves.

What enemies does giraffe have?

Lions, leopards, and hyenas are the main enemy of the giraffe, although they usually attack the baby giraffes and not the full grown giraffe. But occasionally they attempt to kill an adult giraffe. A giraffe defends their baby by using their powerful legs front and back. A kick from a giraffe can kill a lion or human. Sometimes the male giraffes use their heads as weapons. Their heads can break bones and catapult the unlucky predator through the air. But giraffes are more of an animal that would rather run than fight. Since they are very fast runners they have that option.
