Answer 2

No. Giraffes are herbivores, and so have no need to chase down or ambush their prey. Plant's don't run away, neither does their natural food resource have much in the way of defenses. The closest Giraffes come to hunting is wandering around looking for leaves on the top of the trees or water.

No. Perhaps someone has edited a picture of a giraffe on the Internet to appear as though it has no spots, but in nature all giraffes have spots. Yes.

Other albino giraffes have been seen, though some retain their spots and may not be truly albino. "The White Giraffe" is also a movie which is to be released by Walden Media and Grand Allure Entertainment.

What are giraffes most favourite thing to eat?

Giraffes are herbivores that primarily eat plants, leaves, berries and fruits.

What defense mechanisms does a giraffe have to protect itself?

Giraffes can see 360 degrees without turning their heads and thus have sufficient warning of approaching predators. They have very good eyesight, which combined with their height, provides them an excellent view of the terrain around them, and helps them to keep track of other members of the herd. Also their senses of smell and hearing are very sharp. Thus adult giraffes are unlikely to fall prey to hunters like the lions, hyena, leopards, and wild dogs. And they can run very fast, almost 30 miles an hour, covering long distances without tiring.

But young giraffes (calves) are defenseless against these killers and need the protection of their mothers, who stand over their calves in order to protect them. And their strongest defense mechanism is their legs. A well-placed kick by a giraffe can even kill a lion.
