Summary Standing over 4 meters tall there are not many predators that would consider taking on an adult giraffe. Their long necks and keen eyesight allow them to scan the bushveld over great distances all whilst keeping in touch with their herd from above the treetops. During times of drought their long necks also enable them to reach the highest, most nutrient leaves inaccessible to all other herbivores. A long neck may help reach food above but its reaching a drink of water below that proves to be the giraffe's biggest challenge.
