Giraffes defend themselves by kicking preditors and "necking". "necking" is when a giraffe swings its neck at another giraffe really hard. The reason giraffes have the little horns on their head is for necking so they can dig them into another giraffes neck.

What adaptation would help an adult giraffe defend itself if lion attacked?

Adult Giraffes have no natural predators in the wild. They can defend themselves from predators by kicking. Giraffes have the ability to kick in all four directions and one well placed kick is powerful enough to behead an adult lion (they're 20ft tall and weigh 4,000lbs!!). This is risky business for a hungry pride of lions, but they will still prey on giraffe when desperate. This is why whenever you see lions hunting giraffes the male(s) of the pride will come with the females to assist in tackling such large and dangerous prey.
