What features do giraffes have to survive in their habitats?

Answer 1

Some adaptations are behavioral:

Giraffes drink water by gulping-drinking a lot of water quickly. They bend their long necks toward the water and gulp up the water before a leopard or hyena has a chance to attack them. Giraffes can drink up to 10 gallons (45 liters) of water in one drinking session.

Some adaptations are physical:

Giraffes are the tallest land animals, with adult giraffes growing to be between 15 and 18 feet (4.6 to 5.4 meters) tall. Because of their great height and excellent eyesight, giraffes often become watch towers for other animals. The giraffes are able to see and alert the others of approaching trouble.

One of the most interesting adaptations of the giraffe is their ability to eat leaves from some very thorny trees! Just how do they do it? Giraffes produce a very thick saliva, or spit, which protects the mouth from their thorny diet. Is this a physical or a behavioral adaptation?

Answer 2

One of the physical adaptations of giraffe is its long neck which helps the giraffe to see around its habitat more widely in case of danger and to help it reach a high branch in trees for food.

Answer 3

The long legs and neck allow the giraffe to reach leaves far off the ground where other animals cannot reach, thus creating a competition free niche. Their long legs help them to run fast to escape predators, and also give them the ability to deliver a lethal kick to predators. Another adaptation is that they can go for several days without water.
