What eat's a giraffe?

Answer 1

Lions, if hungry enough, may attack giraffes in an attempt to topple them off their feet. But there is usually easier prey.

Not many animals would try to eat a giraffe because it is so large. A lion may have a go at an adult, but it would be more likely an attack by a pack. Baby giraffes, on the other hand, are much smaller and easier to kill. Predators such as lions, hyenas, African hunting dogs, cheetahs and even leopards may try to kill and eat a baby giraffe.

Lions, spotted hyenas, leopards and Nile crocodiles 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 common - a giraffe's kick can kill a lion, and they usually prefer to hunt less dangerous prey. Nonetheless, footage of lions killing giraffes has been captured on film several times.

Due to their sheer size, adult giraffes are not as vulnerable to predators such as leopards, hyenas, and wild dogs. However, lion packs headed by large adult males have been known to hunt down a full grown giraffe. But this is very rare. On the other hand, calves are very vulnerable to predators. A lion pack can easily kill a giraffe calf or even an adolescent. Hyena and wild dog packs are known to prey on giraffe calves.

Young giraffes will be eaten by hyenas, wild dogs, crocodiles, and leopard. An adult giraffe will sometimes be killed and eaten by a lion, but due to it's size this is rare..

lions and leopards are really a giraffes only predators.

Yes, lions will attack and eat a giraffe. I remember a film from my anthropology class showing a Native hunter tracking a giraffe for days, so man does kill them for their meat and skin.

Vultures are scavengers and will eat dead animals including giraffes. Not many animals would attack a giraffe because they have a deadly kick
