What Do Giraffes Eat?
Giraffes are herbivores, and usually eat leaves, flowers, and fruits found high in the treetops. Their favorite treat is acacia tree leaves, which are packed with nutrients.Â
They’ve evolved long necks to reach these lofty snacks, towering above other animals to access food others can’t. Their specialized tongues, which can grow up to 45cm, are prehensile and tough, allowing them to strip leaves from thorny branches with ease.
When you join the giraffe feeding experience at Chessington Zoo, you’ll get a firsthand look at how these incredible animals eat and interact with their surroundings. It’s the ultimate UK giraffe experience for animal enthusiasts of all ages!
