What and how do giraffes eat and drink?

Answer 1

**Being so tall, this animal has to make adjustments to reach the water to get a drink. The giraffe will get close to the water and spread its 6 foot tall front legs apart wide to be able to reach the water. The giraffe will suckle the water or suck the water through its lips.
A giraffe's neck is long enough to reach a high treetop. Yet it is too short to reach the ground. That makes it hard for a giraffe to bend down for water. To get a drink, a giraffe must first spread its front legs wide apart. Then it lowers its head to the water.
They part their front legs a much wider and bend their neck down so they can drink from a river or pond.

Answer 2

Giraffes are browsers because they don't eat off the ground and normally eat of high trees.
Giraffe's usually inhabit Savannas and Grasslands that are abundant in trees like Acacia, Commiphora, Combretum etc. They browse on twigs of tree, preferringt he Acacia, Commiphora and Terminalia. They also feed on grass and fruits. They dont prefer grass much because, they have to bend down to graze, which isnt so easy if we consider its size.

A giraffe simply just grabs it with their tongue. If the food is on the ground, they move their legs apart to get their head too it. If it is a leaf, they just grab it off the tree.

Answer 3

Giraffes are herbivores so they only eat plants. They use their height and their long tongues to reach leaves off of trees. They drink a lot of water but being they are as tall they have to spread their front legs apart and bend down to drink.

Answer 4

Giraffes are herbivores that primarily eat the twigs of trees but also eat shrubs, grass and fruits. They are also known to visit carcasses and lick the dried meat off bones. However, like all mammals, giraffes drink water from streams and pools at intervals of up to three days.

They stretch out their legs very wide and tilt their necks only very slightly until they meet the water, as their necks aren't flexible and can be hurt easily.
