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.

Hyena and wild doc packs too are known to prey on giraffe calves.
