Free Giraffe Pictures - An adult Reticulated Giraffe with it's neck bent straight out as it reaches over a fence to get some leaves. Giraffes' long necks allow them to eat from higher canopies of trees where they have little or no competion for food. Their long legs (the front legs are longer than the back) also help them reach high leaves and give them good views of the surrounding area to watch for predators. Other than man, lions are the only real predatory threat to giraffes in the wild.
