Lions, leopards, and hyenas are the main enemy of the giraffe, although they usually attack the baby giraffes and not the full grown giraffe. But occasionally they attempt to kill an adult giraffe. A giraffe defends their baby by using their powerful legs front and back. A kick from a giraffe can kill a lion or human. Sometimes the male giraffes use their heads as weapons. Their heads can break bones and catapult the unlucky predator through the air. But giraffes are more of an animal that would rather run than fight. Since they are very fast runners they have that option.

What are giraffes enemies?

Giraffes have an unusually long lifespan compared to other ruminants, up to 25 years in the wild. Because of their size, eyesight and powerful kicks, adult giraffes are usually not subject to predation. However, they can fall prey to lions and are regular prey for them in Kruger National Park. Nile crocodiles can also be a threat to giraffes when they bend down to drink. Calves are much more vulnerable than adults, and are additionally preyed on by leopards, spotted hyenas and wild dogs. A quarter to a half of giraffe calves reach adulthood.
