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.
