What are a Giraffe's main sources of energy?

Answer 1

With its long neck a giraffe can reach high up a tree and eat the leaves and twigs. Giraffes have long necks but with the same number of neck bones we have, 7. They also have a long tongue to grab leaves and branches, even thorny ones, much higher than their neck alone would allow. However, its neck is not long in order to reach high up, it is long in order to reach low down. Without a long neck, it would be impossible for a giraffe to drink water from rivers, due to its equally long legs.

Giraffes eat twigs, mainly from acacia trees, but they also eat grass, shrubs and fruits. They will chew the twigs, then partially digest it in the stomach, before regurgitating the cud and chewing again. This is known as ruminating.

Giraffes eat around 75 pounds of foliage per day. The acacia tree is one of the giraffes most important food sources due to the fact that the leaves have moisture in them making the need to drink from ponds less likely. They can drink water from rivers and streams, but this leaves them vulnerable to attack by predators, particularly crocodiles. However, when they have access to water, a giraffe drinks at periods of no more than 3 days.
Giraffs have long necks to reach the best leaves at the top of trees. They just bite the leaves/branch and eat it!
