On average, how long does a giraffe sleep in a day in the wild?
Correct answer: 30 minutes

You wouldn't sleep well with all those predators around.

Giraffes are so cute: those big, soft eyes & long lashes; that extraordinary & elegant neck and gentle

on an average, the giraffe lives for 25 years in the wild and up to 40 years in captivity. they have a voracious appetite - eating up to 45 kg of leaves and twigs per day (acacia is their favorite) and drink water only once in a few days. Its tongue can be as long as half a meter. A group of giraffe is called 'towers' which usually contains up to 15 members.

Balloonbabe, I think giraffes are adorable they are so sweet and calm unlike some other animals you can get close to them

RedSeaDiver, Probably why they sleep longer in captivity.

I read a male giraffe can be up to 3,000 lb. Think what a kick it would have!

Player #38558434,
yeah them and wolves hunt in packs which helps them to be more successful in getting food for the young cubs and puppies compared to the solitary hunters like the other big cats don't have nearly the same success rate as the wolves or the lions even though it mainly the female lions doing most of the hunting the big daddy is usually taking a nap waiting for either dinner or more sex like most typical males hahaha 😆

RedSeaDiver,
that's what I was sorta thinking too and decided to choose the shortest amount of time which turned out to be correct

TheLadyKane, and a foot long black tongue, they curl it around your hand and tip food out! the most amazing and breathtaking feature is their pelts close to it's just like chamois leather and like velvet to touch xx

Lions attack them so they need short bursts AND of course while standing. Imagine trying to get all that mass up off the ground in a hurry. While standing they use their legs to kick the lions. Sadly for the giraffe very rarely is there ever only one lion
