What and how do giraffes eat and drink?

**Being so tall, this animal has to make adjustments to reach the water to get a drink. The giraffe will get close to the water and spread its 6 foot tall front legs apart wide to be able to reach the water. The giraffe will suckle the water or suck the water through its lips.A giraffe's neck is long enough to reach a high treetop. Yet it is too short to reach the ground. That makes it hard for a giraffe to bend down for water. To get a drink, a giraffe must first spread its front legs wide apart. Then it lowers its head to the water.They part their front legs a much wider and bend their neck down so they can drink from a river or pond.
