Their second adaptation is their hoofs. Their hoofs are very dangerous because they can sometimes kill the predator that is chasing them.
Their third adaptation is their tongue. Their tongue helps them grip and pull the leaves from the tree they are eating from.

One of the giraffes behavioral adaptations is roaming. It helps them survive, because when they roam they find food. That’s their source for finding food.
Their second adaptation is rubbing their necks together. It is important for when they are older because it will help them fight.
Their last adaptation is pacing. It helps them run faster when a predator is chasing them.
