Giraffes are the world’s tallest mammals and they are uniquely adapted to reach vegetation inaccessible to other herbivores. They drink water when it is available, but they don’t need to drink on a daily basis, which allows them to survive in areas with scarce water. The Giraffe population is shrinking due to habitat loss, civil unrest, illegal hunting, climate change and habitat conversion. As human populations grow and increase agricultural activities, expand settlements, and construct roads, the giraffe is losing its main source of food, acacia trees.
