7. Food They eat leaves from tall trees. With their very long necks. White giraffes have the same diet as regular giraffes. They eat leaves from tall trees and get their water from the moisture on the leaves. Their long necks help them to reach tall trees an eat the leaves off them.

Two of them can go days without water but 1 can’t!
