This environment is intermediate between a grassland and a forest. Savannas are located in dry tropics and subtropics. Ok. So I haven't told you enough about giraffe's habitat. Here is some more.

Where do giraffes live? (Main thing) Well, do you really know where giraffes live. I can tell you one thing. I can tell you. Giraffes live in savannas which are a flat type of grass land. The savannas that they live in are in Africa. Savannas have a few little ponds for drinking, some trees that have leaves for the animals to eat, and some short or tall grass. Savannas are a good place for giraffes to live in because it pretty much covers what food and other things they need to help them survive. So that is pretty much where giraffes live and what the habitat looks like. I have one more thing. Would you ever take a giraffe home? Well, would you?

What in the name of food do giraffes eat? Did you always wonder what giraffes eat. Do they eat other animals? Do they eat grass or trees? Well, now is your chance to find out. Giraffes have very long necks. Their long necks help them reach leaves on high trees. Giraffes also use their legs and necks to stretch down low to eat grass. So pretty much, giraffes only eat leaves and grass. Giraffes use their long legs and long necks to help them drink water. Giraffes spread their legs and their necks to bend down low to help them drink water. Giraffes can go several days without drinking water. Why you ask. They can do that because the leaves keep them hydrated. So pretty much giraffes only eat grass and trees and drink water.

Giraffe’s Predator! The predator of the giraffe is the lion. When a lion is near a giraffe the giraffe usually would fight back. The giraffe would use its long two front legs to kick the lion and scare them away. The giraffe could also use their two knobs on the top of their heads. The lion wants the calves because they think their meat is a lot more tasty. I don't even know why. Usually, the lion could get the giraffe before the giraffe could get the lion. The lion wants the meats from the giraffe. Well, its sounds good to the lion but me, not in this life time.

Giraffes are highly adapted to their environment.

Interesting Facts Well, I don't think I'm done yet. Here is some more about giraffes. Giraffes have 18 inch. long black-blue tongues. Pretty gross. Am I right? Giraffes can run more than 30 miles per hour, they do it so they can get exercise. Isn't that fast. Giraffes are non-territorial, social animals. Male giraffes weight is between 2,400- 3,000 pounds. Female giraffes weight is between 1,600- 2,600 pounds. So those are just some interesting facts about giraffes.
