Are giraffes hunted for their skin?
As Vegitarians, only trees.
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.
There is no evidence that Antelope eat seeds on their own. However, they are known to swallow their food whole, and since they feed off of shrubs, grasses, and young shoots, seeds are probably in their diet, whether intentionally or not.
